Whipping Post!
Say that again please
Whipping Post!
Whipping Post? Ok, just a second
(Do you know that?)
Oh sorry, we don't know that one
Anything else?
Hum me a few bars of it...please
Just show me how it goes, please
Just sing, sing me Whipping Post
and then maybe we'll play it with you
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Thank you very much
And now...
Judging from the way you sang it,
it must be a John Cage composition, right?
Here we go...Montana
One two, one two three four
I might be movin' to...
Hold it! Hold it!
We can't possibly start the song off like that!
Good god!!!
That's inexcusable!
What happened to you last night?
(George has a tape of it)
George has a tape of it?
Ok, we'll use that in the second show
Ready? Montana...
Wait a minute...Whipping Post
No...Montana
One two, one two three four
It's too fast for you!
One two, one two three four
I might be moving to Helsinki soon
Just to raise me up a crop of
Dental Floss
Raisin' it up
Waxen it down
Tying it to the Whipping Post
In the middle of town
But by myself I wouldn't
Have no boss,
Cause I'd be raisin' my lonely
Whipping Post
Raisin' my lonely
Whipping Post
Raisin' my lonely
Whipping Post
Well I just might grow me some thongs
But I'd leave the hippy stuff
To somebody else...how 'bout Chester?
And then I would
Get a person
Tie him up
To the Whipping Post
And beat the living shit out of him
So that guy in the audience was satisfied
But by myself I wouldn't
Have no boss,
'Cause I'd be raisin' my lonely
Whipping Post-Floss
Movin' to Montana soon
Gonna be a Dental Floss tycoon (how unique!)
Movin' to Montana soon
Gonna be a mennil-toss flykune
(yes, it's such a ballad at this tempo)
Little Booger-bear
Boogers everywhere
And now for the thrilling conclusion to that song...
