[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
