We’re hardly the
We were like two rubber ducks that passed each other in the bath
I can sound like Wally out of Crossroads, Kath
She threw an apple in my eye, cor blimey
Alex Haley was adopted, that’s what’s called a disappointment
When
Wembley must have been a sea of smiles
Well, I think Kenneth Wolstenholme summed up the moment really well
When he said “Just look at Nobby Stiles”
She threw an apple in my eye, cor blimey
Alex Haley was adopted, that’s what’s called a disappointment
Oh they’re still cremating Hattie Jacques; I am not surprised
Come on now, let’s face it, she was fat
It usually takes for ever tryin’ to burn the grossly oversized
Who would ever want to look that that?

Taken from a Peel session (as are many on the CD). It was originally titled "The Continuous Cremation of Hattie Jacques."

Hattie Jacques Overweight star of "Carry On".
Bayeux Town in Normandy. Has tapestry depicting Norman conquest of England

Kath [Brownlow] Neice of the above Wally.
Alex Haley Author of "Roots", collaborated with Malcolm X. Nice reference to the fact that the book was really fictional!
Kenneth Wolstenholme Footy commentator 60's - present. World Cup Final 1966. I thought he was long-dead until he turned up hosting Channel 4's coverage of the Italian Serie A.
Nobby Stiles Man Utd & England, '66 World Cup, deficient in front teeth. Hard man. Oh, and his son John attempted to play for Leeds Utd.
