Available on: Bucky Fellini (Enigma, 1987)

Sung by: Rodney Anonymous

Length: 2:02

Lyrics:

A young watusi watches 'I Love Lucy'
And I think 'what can this mean?'
A goat goes to school
And makes us look like fools
And I think 'what can this mean?'

They call me the walrus! (x4)

Sold my niece to Edwin Meese
And I wonder what life's about
Talked of tires
While your dog caught fire
And I wonder what life's about

They call me the walrus! (x4)

Yeah! Some nights I'm lying in bed! Wonderin' what would happen if Nancy Sinatra suddenly freaked out and climbed a tree and decided she doesn't want to do 'These Boots are Made for Walking' any more and all she ever wanted to do for the rest of her natural life was hum the 'Theme from S.W.A.T'.

They call me the walrus! (x4)

Poke out your eyes
And move to Portland
Kill your wife
And move to Portland
Burn down your home
And move to Portland
Come on everybody!
We're movin' to Portland

They call me the walrus! (x3)
Yeah I am the walrus!

Notes:

The Beatles - This is yet another song with a Beatles reference. OK, there's probably only a few of them. And it's only got the same title as The Beatles song, and has nothing else to do with them whatsoever.

Watusi - Defined in the dictionary as: see tutsi - A member of a Bantu-speaking people inhabiting Rwanda and Burundi.

I Love Lucy - An early sit-com starring Lucille Ball. Thankfully no longer on TV. Well, not on my TV, anyway.

Edwin Meese - Was the 75th Attorney General of the United States from February 1985 to Autumn 1988.

Nancy Sinatra - Daughter of Frank, famous for her song "These Boots Are Made For Walking".

S.W.A.T - A cop show featuring the LAPD's Special Weapons And Tactics team. Don't know the theme myself... or what it would sound like coming from Nancy.


Comments:

"C'mon everybody, we're movin' to Portland!" Ah, killing your wife isn't funny... But somehow it is! That bit makes the song special. But why Portland?
