Whipping Post!
Say that again please
Whipping Post!
Whipping Post? Ok, just a second
(Do you know that?) Oh sorry, we don't know that one Anything else?
Hum me a few bars of it...please Just show me how it goes, please Just sing, sing me Whipping Post and then maybe we'll play it with you
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Thank you very much And now...
Judging from the way you sang it, it must be a John Cage composition, right?
Here we go...Montana
One two, one two three four
I might be movin' to...
Hold it! Hold it! We can't possibly start the song off like that! Good god!!! That's inexcusable!
What happened to you last night?
(George has a tape of it)
George has a tape of it? Ok, we'll use that in the second show Ready? Montana...
Wait a minute...Whipping Post No...Montana One two, one two three four
It's too fast for you!
One two, one two three four
I might be moving to Helsinki soon Just to raise me up a crop of Dental Floss
Raisin' it up Waxen it down Tying it to the Whipping Post In the middle of town
But by myself I wouldn't Have no boss, Cause I'd be raisin' my lonely Whipping Post Raisin' my lonely Whipping Post Raisin' my lonely Whipping Post
Well I just might grow me some thongs But I'd leave the hippy stuff To somebody else...how 'bout Chester? And then I would
Get a person Tie him up To the Whipping Post And beat the living shit out of him So that guy in the audience was satisfied
But by myself I wouldn't Have no boss, 'Cause I'd be raisin' my lonely Whipping Post-Floss
Movin' to Montana soon Gonna be a Dental Floss tycoon (how unique!) Movin' to Montana soon Gonna be a mennil-toss flykune (yes, it's such a ballad at this tempo)
Little Booger-bear Boogers everywhere
And now for the thrilling conclusion to that song...
