The Boatswains - Thelonious Roy Lyrics

Governor are you okay
Yes I've just been knocked down on me canister
Tell me what happened
A man he robbed me
And went down the alley way
Robbed you
What did he take
Your wallet
Your watch
No no
He took
He took me girlfriend
And she seemed quite willing to go with him too
If you know what I mean
Do you know who the filthy booger was
I believe it was
Thelonious Roy

Hey you girlies with the red lips on
Get inside before something goes wrong
He'll be running around until the break of dawn
Get inside before the bell goes gong

Thelonious Roy
Walks the streets of London
Having lots of funyon
Got his phaser on stunyon
Looking at the ladies walk by

Thelonious Roy
He's a real sharp shooter
The point is mooter
He can play the fluter
Like Jethro and he don't even try

Thelonious Roy
He's my namesake
Thelonious Roy
He likes my dog Jake
Thelonious Roy
Thelonious Roy
Thelonious Roy
What do you make of this weather

Thelonius Roy
Likes tea with milky
Pajamas that are silky
A sick lock needs an ill key
A park bench on a rainy day

Thelonious Roy
Likes honey for dinner
Likes girlies that are thinner
Knows outer is not inner
But that doesn't mean he knows what to say

Thelonious Roy
He's my namesake
Thelonious Roy
He likes my dog Jake
Thelonious Roy
Thelonious Roy
Thelonious Roy
What do you make of this weather

A foggy London day would say
That Genesis is the way to stay
Peter Gabriel on a Saturday
In the nicetime
What would Lennon say
A rolling stone under Mr. Toad
A long and winding cobblestone road
A smirk and a wink
A ladder and a sink
Some matches for the stink
And you won't want to blink
Thelonious Roy
On the road to redemption
Afraid of the dark
But he can't find exemption
Some peach jelly for my toast
Don't step on a crack
Or Thelonious will roast
