Lyrics

Pears for Lunch

Ate eight bananas and i thought about a jog
Legged it around the gaff and took my top off
I look crap with my top off

Spend my time watching Top Gear with my trousers down
Covered in Sudocrem and talking to myself
Garlic Curry Cheese Chips

Digestive fingernails are sogging from your mug
Looks like an Art Attack when tilted from a shelf
I don't know what she wants

Wish I was a wife

I said this and I said that
And I said this I said this
I can't eat your pears for lunch
I can't eat your pears for lunch
I can't eat your pears for lunch
Nice to meet you but if I said this and I said that I said this I said that

Ate eight bananas and I thought about a jog
Legged it around the gaff and took my top off
I look crap with my top off

Snorted a wasp and told them to eff off
Oh wowowowowo

Snorted a wasp and told them to eff off
Oh wowowowowo
