I've written a rock'n'roll song called The Wag Song and it'll be out on i-tunes in a few weeks so you will be able to download it and make a CD out of it or even leave it on your i-pod if you use one.
Next week it should be a video on YouTube but anyway here are the lyrics -a word: Kenny Mortiboys was the head wag when I started at Selly Oak and his name was the easiest to rhyme with so I hope he doesn't mind:
The Wag Song
(Heroes of Yesterday)
Little Kenny Mortiboys
Was chief of all the naughty boys
On the GPO in nineteen sixty one
Lady Chatterley made the day
We found the pages then threw it away
Cos we would ride our motor-bikes
And that’s the way we’d take our fun
Way back in sixty one.
Chorus:
We heard the wop bop bop bop doo dah day
On the juke box every day
We heard the wop bop bop bop doo dah day
We were the heroes of yesterday.
Riding on our motor-bikes
Around the streets both day and night
On the GPO in Nineteen sixty one
The cops would try and slow us down
Whenever we came into town
We’d lose them at the traffic lights
Cos that’s the way we’d take our fun
Way back in sixty one
Chorus:
Coffee bars and rock’n’roll
We danced the twist we tried the stroll
On the GPO in Nineteen sixty one
For rock’n’roll you need to bop
And dance and dance until you drop
Then back upon the motor bikes
If that’s the way we’d take our fun
Way back in sixty one
Chorus:
Where is Kenny Mortiboys
And where are all the naughty boys
From the GPO in nineteen sixty one?
Time has taken them away
The heroes of yesterday
Have gone to wearing wedding bands
And that’s the way they take their fun
But back in sixty one.
They heard the wop bop bop bop doo dah day
On the juke box every day
They heard the wop bop bop bop doo dah day
They were the heroes of yesterday.
