The Adventures Of Explorer Henry McThrapplewapper The 49th

From Pirate Bitch

Another early slab of genius from what was later to become a quarter of The Count And His Men. "Even though I was so young, I knew I wanted to write adventure, death and destruction..." Rob Paterson giggled "I kept it clean for the children!"

Lyrics

He's travelled far and wide across the globe,

From London to New York, from Hong Kong to Bengal,

Infact the brave Scottish explorer,

Has actually been there and seen them all.

In Egypt he got stung by a scorpion,

And set the mummies free,

But when someone asked 'What happened?'

He said 'Don't be absurd; of course it wasn't me!'

In the Amazon River he went by boat,

And pushed his guide in the river,

But when someone asked 'What happened?'

He said 'If it was me to his ghost I'd shiver'

In France he knocked down L'Eiffel Tower,

And said it was 'Magnificent!'

But when someone asked 'What happened?'

He said 'If it was me may my neck be bent!'

But now he is stuck in jail,

For causing death and destruction,

His neck is bent, he is scared of ghosts,

And from his mum a pocket money deduction!
