[00:00.00] On Again! on Again! (2006 Remaster) - Jake Thackray
[00:18.29] I love a good bum on a woman
[00:20.09] It makes my day
[00:21.54] To me it is palpable proof of God's
[00:23.46] Existence a posteriori
[00:25.78] Also I love breasts and arms and ankles
[00:28.33] Elbows knees
[00:29.40] It's the tongue the tongue the tongue
[00:30.65] On a woman that spoils the job for me
[00:32.68] Please understand I respect and
[00:33.83] Admire the frailer sex
[00:36.51] And I honour them every bit as much
[00:38.19] As the next misogynist
[00:39.55] But give some women the ghost of
[00:40.95] A chance to talk and thereupon
[00:43.56] They go on again on again on again
[00:45.07] On again on again on again on
[00:57.46] I fell in love with a woman with
[00:59.09] Wonderful thighs and hips
[01:01.04] And a sensational belly I just never
[01:02.73] Noticed her lips were always moving
[01:04.94] Only when we got to the altar and
[01:06.83] She had to say I Do
[01:08.35] And she folded her arms and gathered
[01:10.03] Herself and took in a breath and I knew
[01:12.51] She could have gone on again on again
[01:13.72] On again till the entire
[01:15.51] Congregation passed out and the vicar
[01:16.93] Passed on and the choirboys
[01:18.54] Passed through puberty
[01:19.53] At the reception I gloomily noted
[01:20.71] Her family's jubilant mood
[01:22.79] Their maniacal laughter and their
[01:25.13] Ghastly gratitude
[01:36.27] She talks to me when I go for a shave
[01:38.30] Or a sleep or a swim
[01:39.93] She talks to me on a Sunday when
[01:41.47] I go singing hymns and drinking heavily
[01:43.95] When I go mending my chimney pot
[01:45.70] She's down there in the street
[01:47.33] And at ninety-five on my motorbike
[01:48.72] She's on the pillion seat
[01:50.89] Wittering on again on again
[01:51.96] On and again and again
[01:54.48] When I'm eating or drinking or reading
[01:56.13] Or thinking or when I'm saying my rosary
[01:58.62] She will never stop talking to me
[02:00.10] She is one of those women who
[02:01.87] Will never use three or four words
[02:03.24] When a couple of thousand will easily do
[02:15.21] She also talks without stopping
[02:16.09] To me in our bed of a night
[02:18.77] Throughout the sweetest of our
[02:20.14] Intimate delights she never gives over
[02:22.82] Not even stopping while we go hammer
[02:24.42] And tongs towards the peak
[02:26.19] Except maybe for a sigh and a groan
[02:28.10] And one perfunctory shriek
[02:30.05] Then she goes on again on again
[02:31.22] On again on and I must
[02:32.95] Assume that she has never noticed
[02:34.38] That she's just been interrupted
[02:37.27] Totally unruffled she is and
[02:39.14] As far as I can see
[02:40.58] I might just as well have been posting a
[02:42.14] Letter or stirring up the tea
[02:53.99] She will not take a hint not once
[02:55.80] She's made a start
[02:57.76] I can yawn or belch or bleed or faint
[02:59.84] Or fart - she'll not drop a syllable
[03:01.75] I could stand in front of her grimly
[03:03.38] Sharpening up an axe
[03:04.87] I could sprinkle her with paraffin
[03:06.68] And ask her for a match
[03:08.14] She'd just go on again on again
[03:09.32] On again even more
[03:11.83] The hind leg of a donkey is peanuts for her
[03:13.94] She can bore the balls off a buffalo
[03:15.94] Mother of God I cried one day
[03:17.59] Oh let your kingdom come
[03:19.35] And in the meantime Mother
[03:20.49] Could you strike this bugger dumb
[03:34.21] Well believe it or not she appeared
[03:36.10] To me then and there
[03:37.84] The Blessed Virgin herself in answer
[03:39.84] To my prayer - despite the vulgarity
[03:41.68] Shimmering softly dressed in blue
[03:43.86] And holding up a hand
[03:45.29] I cocked a pious ear as the
[03:47.17] Mother of God began
[03:48.89] But she went on again on again
[03:50.20] On again on and I
[03:51.88] Will have to state how very much
[03:53.61] I sympathise with the rest of the family
[03:56.09] Give some women the ghost of
[03:57.31] A chance to talk and thereupon
[03:59.68] They go on again on again on again on again
[04:02.55] And again and again and again and again
[04:05.83] They will go on again on again on again on again
[04:08.12] On again on again on
