David Schwimmer/Manpill/Chitty Chitty Bang Bang
I met this girl,
She rocks my world.
And I'm not the kind of guy I thought that she'd like.
We went on a date,
I took my footy mates.
And when we rolled the hot dog stand,
She got offended.
Cause she's sensitive,
Oh so sensitive.
And I'm not sure it's going so well,
So I asked myself...

What would David Schwimmer do?
Because it's time like these,
What would David Schwimmer do?
He'd handle this with ease.
What would David Schwimmer do?
What would he do?

She came over last night,
I got a fright.
She'd been reading the papers,
And she'd got an idea.
She asked me to take a pill,
And I'm not sure that I will.
This isn't at all the glad wrap net that I've been using.
Cause she's sensitive,
Oh so sensitive.
It got so serious that I even put my beer down,
And I asked myself...

What would David Schwimmer do?
Because it's time like these,
What would David Schwimmer do?
He'd handle this with ease.
What would David Schwimmer do?
What would he do?

He's the ideal boy,
The thinking woman's toy.
But I also think he's annoying,
He's not really much of a role model when it comes to it.

What would Dick Van Dyke do?
He's an automotive genius,
What would Dick Van Dyke do?
He can dance, sing and clean chimneys.
What would Dick Van Dyke do?
Cause he built Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
What would Dick Van Dyke do?

Meg Ryan/Russell Crowe
The first time I saw your face,
On the set of Inner Space.
Thought it would always be like this,
Just like Kurt and Goldie,
Or Matthew Broderick and Sarah Jessica Parker,
A picture of Hollywood wedded bliss.
But it was not to be,
You left me for a dirty, stinking Aussie.
That skinheaded gladiating fool,
Ten thousand odd foot of tool.

Now I'm mowing lawns on rideon lawnmower,
While you ride on Russell Crowe-r.
Meg Ryan,
I'm crying over you.
Yeah, yeah, yeah!

You built an empire out of romantic comedies.
Sleepless In Seattle,
Or Courage Under Fire,
And When Harry Met Sally.
You got famous in that restaurant scene,
But I didn't see you coming, no no.
But tell me baby,
Where you faking it with me?

Now I'm mowing lawns on rideon lawnmower,
Meg, cause you ride on Russell Crowe-r.
Meg Ryan,
I'm crying over you.

What was it baby?
Was it because he was in Virtuosity?
That shouldn't be a selling point,
You can take it from me,
Take it from me, yeah!
How is it baby,
When he gets you into bed?
From all reports,
He's the quick and the dead.

And I'm mowing lawns on rideon lawnmower,
Cause you ride on Russell Crowe-r.
I'd like to bury him up to his head,
In the grass then make him dead.
Teach him a lesson he'll never forget,
I'm going to get him with a trident and a net.
Meg Ryan,
I'm crying over you.

Dirty Dancing/Brownlow Medal
Woewodin! Woewodin!
I got my neck shaved,
Especially for today.
And Koudefides,
Will be defeated, yeah!
Woewodin!
I got the Brownlow Medal!
Woewodin!
And if I don't thank my girlfriend,
Woewodin!
I'll be sleeping alone.
Least I didn't hire her from an agency,
Like the others.

Congratulations, Shane, mate. Well done!
Thanks Bruce, thanks a lot.
I've heard a rumour that you, in fact, model all your football techniques off Patrick Swayze from Dirty Dancing, is that true?
That is actually true, can I just explain that in song?

He likes to win,
In all his movies.
And he never has surgery,
On his knees.
If I imagine the ball,
As Jennifer Gray,
And I'm taking the mark,
The mark of the day.
And Demi Moore is the goal,
The ball's the pottery.
If Patrick Swayze played footy,
He'd be outta my league.
Just a fool to believe I have anything he needs.

Oh he's a bit overcome with emotion there, it's a big night for the young fella. It's a rags to riches story, a rags to riches story, a fantastic story there for young Shane, rags to riches story.
Ah Bruce, can you stop saying rags to riches?
Can I just say it one more time?
Sure.
Rags to riches.

I want to party,
But I drink cafe latte.
Cause you see,
The game's this Saturday,
And I can't play crappy.

Actually, I've got a few more people to thank, too.
I've had the night of my life,
Cause I've never played this way before.
Yes I swear, it's the truth,
For two years I was ignored.

It's the passion and the glory,
It's a rags to riches story,
Shut up, Bruce.

I've had the night of my life,
It came down to me and Scotty West.
But I won,
It's the truth,
I'm the fairest and the best.

The Pond's Institute
In the days before Krypton exploded, Marlon Brando was skinny and wars were outmoded. Superman was a babe, and so was his mother, and it seemed like a world unlike no other. But I know another place.

Take me to that place now,
I have yearning.
Take me to that place now,
It's a school of higher learning.
But you don't do class or homework there,
Just watch them research skincare.
And it always gets mixed up with heaven,
Out of tennis scores at eleven.

Take me to the Pond's Institute,
Take me to that house of high repute.
Everything's light and clean and white,
And dark haired ladies smile with bright teeth.
Beakoning me through,
Sliding doors to a world that knows no flaws.

The Pond's Institute,
Lotions and ointments.
The Pond's Institute,
The Pond's Institute is where we'll go.

If you're in the market for a lotion,
Or you need some cream or ointment,
They've got every potion.
Just call them up and state your needs,
The dark haired lady's there to please.
From sunblock to black-head removing,
All their products are always improving.

Take me to the Pond's Institute,
Take me to that house of high repute.
Everything's light and clean and white,
And dark haired ladies smile with bright teeth.
Beakoning me through,
Sliding doors to a world that knows no flaws.

The Pond's Institute,
Lotions and ointments.
The Pond's Institute,
The Pond's Institute is where we'll go.

Bugger Off
This is fun,
Let's do this again next week.
I think we should,
Just had one,
Well they told me that this gear was really good.
Now I know we've been buddies,
For four hundred years.
Through good and through cruddy,
And part-time careers.
But recently I'm thinking,
Indecently I'm thinking.
I think you know what I'm thinking,
How's about it you and me?
Yeah? No.

Well, bugger off.
I will love you til the end,
So bugger off.
Yes I know that we're good friends,
But bugger off.
No I'm not having a lend,
Just bugger off.
I am out so I'm taking my bat home now.

Now you know,
And you don't agree that we should do the do.
Probably right,
It would stuff us up as friends,
I think so too.
But then again, you never know,
If you don't give it a go.
If you spend your whole life choosing,
In the end it's you who's loosing.
And what if you succeed to find,
The perfect one you had in mind.
???
It's true just ask me.

Well, bugger off.
I will love you til the end,
So bugger off.
Yes I know that we're good friends,
But bugger off.
No I'm not having a lend,
Just bugger off.
I am out so I'm taking my bat home now.

I've got washing to do,
And programs to watch.
Bugger off.

Would You Mind Not Laughing At Me
Baby, you know I'll never forget you,
But we've got some things to discuss.
So you're gonna have to, you know,
Pull yourself together for a moment.
Cause, baby, we've had some good times,
And you know we've had some bad times, too.
But before I walk out that door,
I've just gotta ask you one more thing.

Would you mind not lauging at me,
When I'm breaking up with you.
You're supposed to cry,
You're supposed to fall on your knees,
That's what I've read.
Baby, all I'm asking here,
Just focus for just a moment.
Just think of what you're missing,
I mean check out the choreography.

Would you mind not lauging at me,
When I'm making love to you.
You're supposed to sigh,
You're supposed to call out my name,
That's what I've read.
Baby, just give me a chance,
I mean just look at my pants.
Have you ever seen anything quite so sexy in your life?

Baby, I'm not joking.
I'm getting upset,
I might try singing something that I'm clearly not capable of!

Would you mind not lauging at me,
When I'm breaking up with you.
You're supposed to cry,
You're supposed to fall on your knees,
Break it down!

Peace!

Ghost Ship
Ghost Ship
See the lonely township,
Peacefully sleeping.
The sun hides once again behind the sea.
Most are safely dreaming,
Angel kisses, butterflies.
But sinners can't escape so easily.
The murderers, the thieves and the fraudulent,
The overweight, the working class and the foreigners.
They all must beware,
For what's that looming there.
An evil spectre,
On the sea.

Waaaow!
Ghost ship!
Ghost ship!
Ghost ship, coming to get them.
Ghost ship, sinners beware.
Ghost ship, ain't no escaping.
The ghost ship coming there,
Toot toot!
Scod: What was that, Yon?
Yon: That was the ghost ship.
Scod: No, no, it's got to be really scary.
Yon: Toot toot!
Scod: No, really disturbing.
Yon: Um, oh... milky discharge.

It's masts are made of piled up skulls,
It's decks are made of human nuts.
It's sails are made of sailor's skin,
It's guts are made of... guts.
It's a feat of engineering,
Yon: I wonder who built it?
Gatesy: I wonder who built it as well, Yonny.

Out in the night,
Under the ocean stars.
I was standing with my baby,
On the boardwalk and the ghost ship was there.
I took her to the pictures,
And then I took her home.
And then I took her to heaven,
You know what I mean.

Scod: I don't want to stop it or anything, but I'm going to go with a few of those chuckles and suggest that these punters have spotted the same inconsistency that I have. When exactly did this become about some woman?
Gatesy: Well, I figured if our show, Tosswinkle The Pirate, was a concept album, then this song, Ghost Ship, would be the first single lifted off it, yeah? And I figure the guys love the evil ghost ship, scary, demonic woo-woo, bogeyman kind of stuff, but once you talk about love... now you have the ladies listening. Cause the ladies want to imagine they're making love to the singer. Yeah, I read it in Rolling Stone, go with me.

Ghost ship!
My baby kisses like a ghost ship,
Ghost ship!
I touched my baby on her ghost ship,
My trousers are busted.

Scod: Just a minute, I touched my baby on her ghost ship? What? Where exactly is a woman's 'ghost ship'?
Gatesy: Don't you know?
Yon: I can't believe I'm saying this, but I think you've got something Gatesy. I think you're on the right track, but you're coming in a little fast. If you want to do this love thing, you've got to create a bit of a mood, you've gotta get inside the head of a female girl. Tell them what they want to hear, can I give you an example.

Ghost ship!
Expressing my feelings,
Ghost ship!
Being a good listener,
Ghost ship!
A thoughtful companion.

Scod: I don't even know what this song is about anymore!
Gatesy: It's like foreplay.
Scod: No! It's not about foreplay, it's about a horrible spectral ship that comes and gets sinners.
Gatesy: What are they wearing?
Scod: No! Look focus, if there's a woman on it, it's because she's a sinner.

The woman's a sinner,
She's gotta be dragged away.
But not before I bone her on the boardwalk 'til the morning comes!
I bought a sentimental card,
With flowers and a pink design.
She'll be torn apart by demons,
While she's touching my buns.

Ghost ship!
Caring environment.
Ghost ship!
Den of the damned.
Ghost ship!
Overtly sexual.
Murderous,
Empathy,
Nude,
Banshees,
Thoughtful,
Arse!
Ghost ship!

Oasis Medley
All the people righty right now,
You know what I mean?
Yes, yes indeed, yeah, yeah.
All the people righty right now,
You know what I mean?
Yeah yeah.
Today is gonna be the day,
That we're going to throw it back at you.
We just noticed all the chords in your songs,
Are the same, did you?
I don't believe that anybody,
Could get away with this.
But you have,
Well you did, didn't ya?

And all the catchy melodies are winding,
Around the same progression,
And we're finding,
That you released three singles,
But you could've managed one.
Good luck to you.

Scod: Fair go fellas, it is rock and roll.
You're free,
To do whatever you.
Whatever you choose and you'll sing the blues if you want.
Gatesy: He's right you know.
You're free,
To sing whatever you.
Whatever you like, if it's wrong or right.

Whatever you want,
Whatever you say,
I know it's alright.
Whatever you want,
Whatever you say,
I know it's alright.

So Sally can wait,
You know it's too late if she's walking on by.
Your soul slides away,
But don't look back in anger,
I heard you say.

Second Drawer Down
Second drawer down,
Second drawer down,
Everything fits in the second drawer down.
Short, blunt, long, skinny or round,
Everything fits in the second drawer down.

Don't leave it sitting on the bench,
If you do it'll make an awful stench.
You're domestically unstable,
If you leave it on the table.
You're some hopeless bachelor,
If I can see your spatula.
You mustn't have a missus,
If I can see some scissors.
Lady's you know what to do,
Now us boys can do it too.

Second drawer down,
Second drawer down,
Everything fits in the second drawer down.
Short, blunt, long, skinny or round,
Everything fits in the second drawer down.

Stalk
You say that there isn't a chance,
That we two will have a romance.
You just need a little more time,
But in the meantime,
Is it okay if I stalk you?
I just want to make sure you're okay,
And behaving while I am away,
Is it okay if I stalk you?
Don't mind me I won't get in the way,
And although I'll see you everyday,
You won't see me.

You've stated in words very clear,
That you won't require me here.
So to your conditions I bow,
But for now,
Is it okay if I stalk you?
I just want to make sure you're okay,
And behaving while I am away,
Is it okay if I stalk you?
Don't mind me I won't get in the way,
And although I'll see you everyday,
You won't see me.

I will be in the vicinity no matter where you are,
It's a good thing what with all of the nutcases out there.
So, is it okay if I stalk you?

Is it okay if I stalk you?
Don't mind me I won't get in the way,
And although I'll see you everyday,
You won't see me,
Cause I'll be concealed in my car.
At the back of the bar.
In the restauarant behind the piano.
The man over there with the hair,
And the moustahce and wearing the glasses that, no offence, I wouldn't normally wear,
Because my eyesight is fine.
And with nightvision goggles I see even better,
They flatter you more than the closed-circuit video.

Is it okay if I stalk you?
I just want to make sure you're okay,
And behaving while I am away,
Is it okay if I stalk you?
