When I was young and had birthdays more often
I got assorted creams
When I was young and had birthdays more often
Biscuits of my dreams
Assorted creams you flake and crumble
Assorted creams you make my stomach rumble
When it was cold we had porridge for breakfast
And got assorted creams
When it was cold we had porridge for breakfast
Biscuits of my dreams
Assorted creams you crumble and flake
Assorted creams you make my stomach ache
Out in the woods in the park near our garden
We ate assorted creams
Out in the woods in the park near our garden
Biscuits of my dreams
Assorted creams you flake and crumble
Assorted creams you make my stomach rumble

I Am The Pope
02:09

|
You may think that I’m a vicar
(Look there’s a vicar)
But it’s just imagination
(Whoops no he’s not)
Because I live in Rome
With divine ordination
I am the Pope
(He’s the Pope)
I am the Pope
(He’s the magic Pope)
I am the Pope
(He’s the Pope on wheels)
And I’m here to stay
(Everybody now one two three four)
Pax benedictus rectum
Pax benedictus rectum
Pax benedictus rectum
That’s what all the people say
You may think that I’m a vicar
(There’s another vicar)
But it’s just imagination
(Whoops wrong again)
Because I live in Rome
With divine ordination
I am the Pope
(He’s the Pope)
I am the Pope
(He’s the magic Pope)
I am the Pope
(He’s the Pope on a stick)
And I’m here to stay
(Everybody now one two three four)
Pax benedictus rectum
Pax benedictus rectum
Pax benedictus rectum
That’s what all the people say
You may call me Supreme Pontiff
(Hello Supreme Pontiff)
And my services are full
(Oh so full)
If you hear about me dying
(Here, heard the Pope’s dying?)
It’s a load of papal bull
(Ho ho ho)
I am the Pope
(He’s the Pope)
I am the Pope
(He’s the very funny Pope)
I am the Pope
(He’s the Pope on a rope)
And I’m here to stay
(Everybody now one two three four)
Pax benedictus rectum
Pax benedictus rectum
Pax benedictus rectum
That’s what all the people say

First Aid
02:42
|

|
There are many many ways of boiling an egg
But only one of them is right
There are many many ways of bandaging a leg
To stop you being up all night with the pain
First aid, first aid, it’s very good
If you haven’t thought about it yet it’s time you should
First aid, first aid, does the trick
If it’s a mighty big gash or a tiny little nick
There are certain thing to know when you’re driving in a car
To stop it crashing into trees
There are certain thing to know when you’re standing at the bar
Most of which concerns the knees
First aid, first aid, is entertaining
Even when it’s raining I’m not complaining
First aid, first aid, it’s really rather fun
You know what it feels like but you don’t know how it’s done
There are quite a lot of times when you might need a book
To tell you how things should be made
There are quite a lot of times when you might just have a look
To see the proper game is played
First aid, first aid, it’s very good
If you haven’t thought about it yet it’s time you should
First aid, first aid, does the trick
If it’s a mighty big gash or a tiny little nick
Minor ailments: cuts; grazes; sprains; stings;
Burns; throat infections; wrenches; spots;
Twists; thorns; bites and coughs;
Are all assisted by
First aid, first aid, it will last
Blood on your shirt is a thing of the past
First aid, first aid, it’s a new regime
It will triumph over everything and God save the Queen
Amen

This is the music to boil an egg
The egg has tricks up its sleeve
Don’t go too far away now boys and girls
Hey kids 20 seconds left

Bananas grow in Mexico, tea comes from Ceylon
Cotton grows in Burma, but they’ve all gone wrong
You don’t find spiders up my tree
You don’t find spiders up my tree
You don’t find spiders up my tree
It’s a long way clear of the ground
Spiders eat bananas, spiders eat the tea
Spiders eat the cotton, but they don’t eat me
You don’t find spiders up my tree
You don’t find spiders up my tree
You don’t find spiders up my tree
It’s a long way clear of the ground
Motorbikes go brrm brrm brrm, bikes go ting ting ting
Spiders don’t do anything but crawl around and sting, ow
You don’t find spiders up my tree
You don’t find spiders up my tree
You don’t find spiders up my tree
It’s a long way clear of the ground
Germans come from Germany, bikes come from Japan
All the girls love Rodney Bewes, funny little man
You don’t find spiders up my tree
You don’t find spiders up my tree
You don’t find spiders up my tree
It’s a long way clear of the ground

Up my road there are many things
Birds with wings and a nice sweetie shop
Down another road there are many nasty things
Frogs with things and a nasty newsagent

Golden Moments
05:05
|

I feel lost in the bath
Since you left me out in the rain
There’s a crack in the path
Where the man came to mend the drain
Every little stain you left on the cooker
Brings you back to me
All the cans of hairspray left in the bedroom
Say don’t burn or puncture me
There’s a goat in the hall
That you wore when we went to Brighton
I gave the plumber a call
‘Cause I had a few nuts to tighten
Every little eyelash found in the teapot
Means I still love you
All the tins of fly spray left in the toilet
Say we could explode for you
Every little child adrift in a snowstorm
Brings you back to me
All the tins of bacon left in the pantry
Say don’t burn or puncture
Cooker eyelash Brighton memories linger on and on
And hairspray teapot bacon memories linger on and on
And snowstorm fly spray plumber memories linger on and on
And all these golden moments only go to prove that I love you
I feel lost in the bath
Since you left me out in the rain
There’s a crack in the path
Where the man came to mend the drain
Every little eyelash found in the teapot
Means I still love you
All the tins of fly spray left in the toilet
Say we could explode for you
Every little stain you left on the cooker
Brings you back to me
All the cans of hairspray left in the bedroom
Say don’t burn or puncture me

Nurse, I’m dying of drug abuse
Aren’t you Frankie Lymon?
Nurse, get a doctor
Why do fools fall in love, get it?
Nurse, I’m burning up
Why does the rain fall from up above?
Where are my teenagers?
Broken arm? Dr Teenchord will strap it up for you
Why do fools fall in love?
Dr Teenchord’s been trained as a jazz drummer
He has a diploma
Mother, I sold a million

Alsatian Frith and Frankie Ford have gone on a sea cruise
I saw them getting aboard, oh oh, they had to go
I went down to the candy store, there’s dirt on the floor
And boards on the door, oh oh, it was a long time ago
I haven’t seen the Doo-wops since ‘76
I haven’t seen M’gubo since I went to the flicks
And he took my ticket at the door
He doesn’t sing any more
Harry and his band have given up the stage
I remember the time when they were the rage
Montrose and Herman have been put away
We always thought they’d stay
Dear Lord Nelson are you feeling okay? There’s not much to do
When your friends are away, oh oh, it’s a shame about the snow
It’s been a long while since I went to a show
Jet was on tour, but I didn’t go
He hasn’t been too well since then
He won’t be touring again
The sixties came back and the seventies have gone
The eighties are with us but they won’t last long
A new generation of popular stars
Are a part of the past
We’re overnight sensations, we’re superstars, diamond-studded tie-pins
And chauffeurs in cars, oh oh, it all had to go
Alsatian Frith and Frankie Ford have gone on a sea cruise
I saw them getting aboard, oh oh, it was a long time ago
It’s been a long while since I went to a show
Terry was on tour, but I didn’t go
He hasn’t been too well since then
He won’t be touring again
I haven’t seen the Doo-wops since ‘76
I haven’t seen M’gubo since I went to the flicks
And he took my ticket at the door
He doesn’t sing any more

But the food I really want is
More haddock oh more

One more time for the people
Goodnight Tambacounda)

Tune in tune on turn down drop off
All around us there are mysteries
Why do aeroplanes fly?
Who invented the umbrella?
Terry Wibbley. And how
Terry Terry Terry Terry Terry Terry
Terry Terry Terry Terry Terry Terry
All these questions and more will be answered shortly
In The Wonderful World Of Terry Wibbley
Who invented the umbrella?
Terry Wibbley.
Why do aeroplanes fly?
Why do aeroplanes fly?
The Wonderful World Of Terry Wibbley
So let’s listen to a fragment
There’s constant experimenting going on here we’re being told
In creating new species of citrus
The Wibbley Brothers
The so-called easy-peelables
Who invented the umbrella?
You can see the miniature kumquat and limequat
It is doubtful whether a composition which does not reflect national authenticity
Can in reality be vivid and viable
Where do fish go when the river dries?
Terry Wibbley
So tell me how do the Wibbley Brothers work?
We work primarily now in vegetable and, er, frozen items
And I’ve seen some new frozen products such as round baby carrots being developed here
And we have hope also that in a couple of years
Israel will be producing frozen asparagus
All around us there are mysteries
Terry Terry Terry Terry Terry Terry
Terry Terry Terry Terry Terry Terry
Why do aeroplanes fly?
Who invented the umbrella?
Terry Wibbley. And how
So let’s listen to a fragment

Radio is like a fern with a lot of branches spreading out
We are all as one in front of the wireless
I have a genuine spiritual interest in netball
The end of the world, Douglas Cameron, conserving fish stocks
People called Kevin, other people, everyone everywhere
What has happened to Simon Dee?
Men are like each other a lot
So why can’t we all be as one, why not?
Radio is like a tern with wings and a beak
We can all fly away in front of the wireless
I have a deep longing to participate in the following
Shearing a sheep, being called Kim
Saving the whale, learning to swim
Little Bo Peep, Roger and Jim
Breathe and inhale, Sooty and Sweep
Cleaning with Vim, life has gone stale
Shearing a sheep, being called Kim
Saving the whale, learning to swim
Little Bo Peep, Roger and Jim

The Wibbley Brothers London, UK
The Wibbley Brothers are an outsider English musical duo, credited by Record Collector magazine with creating "quite
possibly one of the most eccentric rarities ever to have ended up in rock’s cobweb-encrusted vaults" with their second record release, 'The Wibbley Brothers Go Weird'.
A full-length second album entitled 'Mornin’ Jack' was released in winter 2020.
