George looks gorgeous in pinstripes, |
| [00:18.03] |
pocket handkerchief and cravat, |
| [00:21.04] |
swaggering out of the Band On The |
| [00:24.15] |
Wall in a burgundy Homberg hat, |
| [00:27.67] |
singing "Ratatatay, ratatatay!" |
| [00:42.39] |
George after-hours and the worse for whisky |
| [00:46.63] |
when somebody shouts "Hey, you!" |
| [00:49.36] |
in a pitch-black Manchester backstreet |
| [00:53.27] |
well, what's a poor singer to do |
| [00:56.05] |
but sing "Ratatatay, ratatatay"? |
| [01:11.28] |
Two men flashing a knife blade, |
| [01:15.00] |
saying "give us your notes and your watch" |
| [01:18.89] |
Singing the backstreet stand-off |
| [01:22.29] |
to the rhythm of the fear and the scotch. |
| [01:26.44] |
|
| [01:42.10] |
George, not wanting to feel the knife, |
| [01:45.91] |
cornered and speeding and scared ... |
| [01:48.90] |
from the back of his mind comes 'Ursonate', |
| [01:53.21] |
Sound and fury and words. |
| [01:55.23] |
He sings: "Ratatatay, ratatatay!" |
| [02:09.43] |
|
| [02:24.28] |
"Ratatatay, ratatatay!" |
| [02:38.19] |
So the robbers are stuck to the spot now, |
| [02:42.52] |
watching George as he sings for his life. |
| [02:46.17] |
Menace turns to panic and they turn and run |
| [02:50.00] |
and the song waves goodbye to the knife |
| [02:52.75] |
singing "Ratatatay, ratatatay!" |
| [03:07.58] |
"Ratatatay, ratatatay!" |
| [03:21.14] |
"Ratatatay, ratatatay!" |
| [03:32.10] |
|
