about

Words by Alan Jenkins; Music by Yukio Yung

THE GANG PLANS TO SUBSTITUTE SCOOBY AS A DECOY FOR A PRIZEWINNING GREAT DANE BELONGING TO ANOTHER SHOW COMPETITOR. THE PLOY WORKS – SCOOBY IS GRABBED BY THE DOGNAPPERS.

lyrics

No sign of that show dog anywhere on this train
There's just that ugly-looking great dane
You're quite convincing but you won't win me round
Because you're a substitute for another hound
You are the tramp, now what did you do with the lady?

The switch, as you call it, will not be changed
The switch, as you call it, will not be changed

At lunch you were a little bit pushy but it's not your fault
That fuss when you asked the Englishman to pass the salt... you said
My favourite dog food, you can't beat it,
Did you know a million Mexican dogs eat it?
You know what they say - a million mexicans can't be wrong

The switch, as you call it, will not be changed
The switch, as you call it, will not be changed

The switch, as you call it, will not be changed
The switch, as you call it, will not be changed
That would be a little outside our range,
The switch, as you call it, will not be changed

about

The Chrysanthemums England, UK

“The very definition of ‘cult favourites’, the Chrysanthemums are the sort of group who inspire loyalty among a small band of admirers while remaining entirely below the radar of the public at large ... few bands walk the knife's edge between accessibility and impenetrability so well.” [Stewart Mason, AllMusic] ... more
