Black Funk Rex
I wanna talk about some guys with glitter on their eyes and cute lips |E///|A7///|E///|////|
It's an all-purpose noise that's already put the boys in the chips |A7///|////|E///|////|
If you're talkin' about pre-teen sex you're talkin' 'bout Black Funk Rex |G///|C/D/|E///| ||
Black Funk Rex are cuddly as rabbits |E///|////|
They drone about elves and they drool about hobbits |E///|////|
But their warmed-over whimsicality hardly inhibits |E///|////|
Their wide repertoire of nauseating habits |E7///|////|
And when the amplifiers roar |A7///|////|E///|E///|
They sound like fairies waging atomic war |G///|C/D/|E///|////||
They got one riff to their name |A///|
Which isn't to their shame |A///|
'Cause the secret of their fame |A///|
And the basis of the game |A///|
Is that every song's the same |A///|
And when the bass booms down there |E///|
Like a constipated bear |E///|
Breaking wind inside its lair |E///|
Perspiration fills your hair |E///|
And the lead shrieks up here |A///|
Till it fills your mind with fear |A///|
That an electronic spear |A///|
Being hammered up your rear |A///|
Is coming out your ear |A///|
But the rhythm's got one lick |E///|
So flatulently slick |E///|
It's guaranteed to make you sick |E///|
And the drummer's got one stick |E///|
But he hits you like a kick |E///|
In the stomach from a hick |E///|
Serving ten years in the nick |E///|
And the singer is a prick |A///|
With a breath-bereaving trick |A///|
Of twitching like a chick |A///|
Who gives her bum a flick |A///|
Like a giant facial tick |A///|
And you couldn't call 'em quick |A///|
In fact they're thicker than a brick |A///|
But when they all turn up the wick |B///|B///|
It brings the tots |G///|
Screaming up out of their prams and cots |C/D/|E///||
Black Funk Rex is the music of tomorrow |E///|////|
Say it with pride though you hear it with sorrow |E///|////|
They're the Middle Earth between L.A. and EC4 |A///|////|E///|////|
And your middle ear has never suffered like this before |G///|C/D/|E///|E///||
I'm talkin' 'bout some guys with glitter on their eyes and cute lips |E///|A7///|E///|////|
It's an all-purpose noise that's already put the boys in the chips |A7///|////|E///|////|
If you're talkin' about pre-teen sex you're talkin' 'bout Black Funk Rex |G///|C/D/|E///| ||
