Fave rhyming couplets


Violet Elizabeth

Recommended Posts

Stuck in a nasty t-jam this evening ... Radio whatever was playing Up the junction by Squeeze.

 

"I never thought it would 'appen

With me and the girl from Clapham".

 

Love it 😬

 

Also love :-

 

"The Sweeneys doing 90 'cos they got the word to go

they get a gang of villains in a shed up at Heathrow"

 

Not my favourite band in the world, but rhymes that make me 😬 😬 😬

 

"I didn't take much time convincing her

Baby i'm from the wirral penninsula "

 

*thumbup*

 

Any more .... for any more *confused*

"Rubber Bullets", 10cc: "We all got balls and brains, but some got balls and chains"

 

Ian Dury: too many to mention, but:

 

'You come awake in a horny morning mood and have a proper wriggle in the naughty naked nude"

 

"'Fill 'er up' they say, the Blockheads 'Go on, stick it where it hurts.' Their shapeless haircuts don't enhance their ghastly patterned shirts"

 

"I could be a writer with a growing reputation, I could be the ticket man at Fulham Broadway Station"

 

".....Harold Hill of Harold Hill, of do-it-yourself dexterity and double glazing skill. Came home to find another gentleman's kippers in the grill so he sanded off his winkle with a Black and Decker drill"

 

Tom Lehrer - even more than Ian Dury, but...

 

"As the judge remarked the day the that he acquitted my Aunt Hortense, to be smut it must be ut-terly without redeeming social importance"

 

"Stories of tortures used by debauchers lurid, licentious and vile make me smile"

 

"We will all go together when we go, all suffused with an incandescent glow

No-one will have the endurance to collect on his insurance, Lloyds of London will be loaded when they go"

 

"You will all go directly to your respective Valhallas.

Go directly do not pass go do not collect two hundred dollars"

 

And the most pretentious and laboured of all could only be Sting (via The Police):

 

"He starts to shake and cough just like the old man in that book by Nabokov"

A few more Tom Lehrer gems that occurred to me while trying to get to sleep:

 

"Since I still appreciate you let's find love while we may,

Because I know I'll hate you when you are old and grey.

So say you love me here and now, I'll make make the most of that.

Say you love and trust me for I know you'll disgust me when you're old and getting fat.

 

An awful debility, a lessened utility, a loss of mobility is a strong possibility.

In all probability I'll lose my virility and you your fertility and desireability

And this liability of total sterility will lead to hostility and a sense of futility

So let's act with agility while we still have facility for we'll soon reach senility and lose the ability."

 

"Out came that matador who must have been potted or slightly insane but who looked rather bored.

And the picadors of course, each one on his horse, I shouted 'Ole!' everytime one was gored"

 

"Some have harsh words for this man of renown, but some think our attitude should be one of gratitude

Like the widows and cripples in old London town, who owe their large pensions to Werner von Braun"

Warren Zevon was good too:

 

"I saw a werewolf with a chinese menu in his hand walking through the streets of Soho in the rain,

He was looking for the place called Lee Ho Fook, gonna get a big dish of beef chow mein"

 

From the same song:

"He's the hairy-handed gent who ran amok in Kent

Lately he's been overheard in Mayfair

You'd better stay away from him

He'll rip your lungs out, Jim

Huh, I'd like to meet his tailor"

Frank Zappa still best:

 

He took a dog-doo snow cone and stuffed it in my right eye

He took a dog-doo snow cone and stuffed it in my other eye

And the husky wee-wee

I mean the doggie wee-wee

Has blinded me

And I can't see

Temporarily

thomas dolby:

 

I buy her all the right clothes

and pretty jewels to wear

my friends say she's a dumb blonde

but they don't know she dyes her hair

she thinks the fighting in Central America's easily solved

but what to wear to Bel-Air premieres

is a problem she could never resolve...

 

she's an airhead

stungun and mace - Kharmann Ghia plates say "Lost in Space";

she's an airhead

thousands in trust - cusp Aquarius - get serious

she's an airhead

tinted contacts don't change the fact that black is black

she's an airhead

and while I'm impressed with the length of those legs

she's not an intellectual giant....

A good, if rather vulgar, one from the Police:

 

"Jimmy's joined the National Front,

He always was a little runt

He's got his hand in the air with the other c(insert rhyme here)s"

 

Good Ol' Rod Stewart:

 

"She was long tall and tarty,

She drove a Maserati"

 

And for really awful ones, how about "Typically Tropical" (in a heavy cod West Indian Accent)

 

"I look out at de ground

An' I see de rain go down de drain"...shocking

 

All together now.."Whoah, I'm going to Burbeedas"...quite shocking...

(can't recall singers' name just heard this on cr4p C&W station growing up in East Texas)

 

Drop kick me Jesus, through the goal posts of life

My children are in bed having sex with my wife

😳 😳 😳

 

Reminds me of the old one:

 

Bloke rings work 'I can't come to work today, I'm sick.'

 

Boss: 'How sick are you, then?'

 

'Well I'm in bed with my sister, is that sick enough for you?'

John Prine:

 

When I woke up this morning, things were lookin' bad

Seem like total silence was the only friend I had

Bowl of oatmeal tried to stare me down... and won

And it was twelve o'clock before I realized

That I was havin' .. no fun
