Standard (EADGBE)

Obviously I don't want to infer that being invited onto Friday Night with Wossy

isn't wonderfully affirming, and I know I oughta

appreciate the risk you took, the bookers who agreed to book

a chap who tends to talk about the kinda things that get the BBC in hot water.

And I don't want to seem greedy, I'm just saying

I'd like to be here every week if that's OK.

Fo7(or E7b9/F)

And, if you'll hear me out, I think I've got a way

in which we could do it pretty easily.

You can leave all the boring details to me.

It's a brilliant idea, a truly original concept.

No one in Britain has ever done anything like it yet.

Picture this - imagine if we had

five poofs and two pianos - yeah, it's a wicked idea.

Why settle for a quartet of queers

When there's a possibility of a penta-poofter-piano-posse here?

Five poofs and two pianos - yeah, it'll be ace:

a hundred percent more pianos and twenty five percent more gays.

Pickup:

I know, I know, I've seen the problem too.

There's a rumour I am straight, it's true.

It hurts to admit it, but I'm about as bent

as Wossy himself or Fiddy Cent.

But I've already thought it through.

D'you know there's preachers in America who reckon they can do

sexuality conversions. I've heard them assert

they can cure a man of trouser love and turn him onto skirt.

Well I don't see why they couldn't pull the same trick in reverse, and we'd have -

five poofs and two pianos - yeah, it's a revolution

and probably the best solution

to the problem you're inevitably having with an even number of homosexuals.

Pickup:

Yes I know your producers might suspect

that the licence-paying public will object

to the Corporation having yet

another homosexual to pay.

The Daily Mail will bring the big guns out.

Jan Moir will be frothing at the mouth,

writing further brilliant stuff about

the myth about being both happy and gay.

But all that moral indignation

will disappear when they see

those four lovely guys and me

singing in perfect harmony.

And all those angry letter writers,

like 'Disgusted' from the Isle of Wight

and 'Mad' from Hull and 'Outraged' from Leeds

and 'Slightly Annoyed' from Berwick on Tweed,

will instantly change their tune.

They'll be bleeding-heart liberals by Saturday noon.

They'll be giving their grandchildren up for adoption

in the hope that a gay married couple will adopt 'em.

They'll be putting rainbow stickers on their cars,

(Bass line -

)

and cutting holes in the arse of their leather strides.

And watching 2 pianos and 5 guys

Watching 2 pianos and 5 guys

G (picks up on the G in the bass line)

Watching 2 pianos and five ..1, 2 ,3, 4,

5 poofs and 2 pianos - yeah, it'll be grand.

You can never have too many pianos or too much man.

5 poofs and 2 pianos - maybe we could out Jamie Cullum.

Make it a trio of pianos and a big gay half dozen.
