Lionel
Whatcha gonna do?
Lionel
No band is gonna want you
Your guitar
Is not even worth a pound
Things that old are usually
Found underground
I'm not just gonna sit in my room
While my mum floats around on her broom
There's someone who can join me in my wrath
But first I'll have to give him a bath
Giving Black Erin a bath
Are you having a laugh?
Giving Black Erin a bath
Are you having a laugh?
Erin
He's as black as can be
Erin
Even blacker than me
Erin
He called me a black mink
But he's the one who needs to go
And wash in the sink
Erin said 'Can you tell me, mister
'Is my mum really my sister?'
Well your dad's your brother so you do the math
But first go and jump in the bath.
Giving Black Erin a bath
Are you having a laugh?
Giving Black Erin a bath
Are you having a laugh?
Giving Black Erin a bath
Are you having a laugh?
Giving Black Erin a bath
Are you having a laugh?
Lionel
Is teaching Erin guitar
Lionel
In the hope he'll go far
Lionel
Can't get gigs for Erin's dirty musk
So they hang about street corners
Trying hard to busk
Isn't it good my money's been spent
On sixteen cases of industrial detergent?
I've got to clean the dirt off that little scaff
It's my epitaph
Giving Black Erin a bath
Are you having a laugh?
