You Wouldnt Get Away With This On TV Anymore © ( Rainbow parody)

Instrumental intro

Up above the streets and houses

Rainbow flying high

But you don't get shows like this anymore

And I think you all know why

Verse 1

Hello boys and girls, it's Geoffrey here

It's such a lovely day

Though it was never said, it's pretty clear

That I'm secretly gay

Oh I guess you could say that back then it was such a simpler time

But I was throwing subtle innuendo into every single line

Verse 2

Hello boys! It's George the hippo

I guess some boys do like pink!

The gayest puppet on TV, with Innuendo and a wink!

It's pretty strange to think of it, but how did no one see?

This hippo is as camp as a boyscout jamboree!

(Oh my!)

Chorus

Oh, you wouldn't get away with this on TV anymore

The Ofcom gang would be knocking on the door

But as children you all loved us, and well honestly

It's far more tame than what's been going on at the BBC.

Verse 3

Oh goodness me, what is happening here

I'm Bungle the bear, but that's not all that's queer

And here's what's really going to mess with your head,

Why am I naked all day but wearing pajamas in bed?

Oops! Looks like I dropped another clanger!

But you're still singing songs about my big red twanger.

(It's my plucking instrument!)

Chorus

Oh, you couldn't get away with this on TV anymore

The Ofcom gang is about to break down the door

But as children you all loved us and well, honestly?

There's much pervier stuff going on at the BBC

guitar solo

verse

(Finally! I got my zipper open!)

Right! Step aside, you bunch of poofs!

Make way for the star of the show

It's time for Zippy to spout some truths

Let's break it down blow by blow

Cos me zipper is loose and I'm letting it all out!

(Ooh! I've heard that before!)

So sing along and get yer twangers out!

Bungle and George are a bumbling pair of pansies

And Geoff he's in the closet with the nancies

In fact, I've heard he loves a bit of ....

(Right! That's enough of that! Let's zip your mouth back up before you get us all cancelled. Come 'ere you mouthy little bastard!)

Chorus

Oh you wouldn't get away with this on TV anymore

The Ofcom gang would be knocking on the door

Rod, Jane and Freddy are coming out to play

Jane's blowing on their pipes as they twang away

George only has a tiny one

But he plucks it with such joy

Bungle's joining in the fun

With his favourite little toy

You just wouldn't get away with that stuff now

But as children we laughed and sang along somehow
