Silly Old Baboon - Spike Milligan

作曲：Ed Welch/Spike Milligan

There was once was a baboon

Who one afternoon

Said I think I will fly to the sun

So with two great palms

Strapped to his arms

He started his takeoff run

Started his takeoff run

Mile after mile

He galloped in style

But never once left the ground

You're going too slow said a passing crow

Try reaching the speed of sound

Reaching the speed of sound

SO

He put on a spurt

My God how it hurt

Both the soles of his feet caught on fire

As he went through a stream

There were great clouds of steam

But he still never got any higher

Still never got any higher

On and on through the night

Both his knees caught alight

Clouds of smoke billowed out of his rear

Quick to his aid

Came the fire brigade

Who chased him for over a year

Chased him for over a year

Many moons passed by

Did Baboon ever fly

Did he ever get to the sun

I've just heard today

He's well on his way

He'll be passing through Acton at one

Passing through Acton at one
