Lyrics to Ken McKenzie? Nah preposterous !
Fritz
Can anyone tell me the words to "Preposterous Tales in the Life of Ken
McKenzie" by I can't remember who?
I seem to recall the first line was :
" I went out with a mongol's sister's lesbian friend"
Ta,

I've got the triple A-sided Rodney, Rodney! 10" with the flexi versions
of this, Spock's Brain and Three English Football Grounds. However from
memory...
I went out with a mongol sister's lesbian friend
I was on Crackerjack at the age of ten
And I saw the sex pistols playing down the Hundred Club
and I spent New Years Eve at Santa Claus' den.
Preposterous tales (now then now then)
Preposterous tales (now then now then)
Preposterous tales in the life of Ken McKenzie
x2
I lost a thousand pounds playing brag last night
I flew to Amsterdam to start a riot
And I once saw the Palace score four goals away from home
And I've won every game of trivial pursuit I've ever played.
Preposterous tales... etc
I once ate three mars bars in half an hour (oh did you Ken)
Once working on a site i once unearthed a bomb (oh did you Ken)
And I once took a shower with two American girls
...
What at the same time Ken? Oh... preposterous!
Preposterous tales... etc
[There are lots of intra-verse words too.]

they play in a couple of weeks at the Bull & Gate with Male Nurse. I
might go. saw them a few years ago doing a song 'hats off to Eldorado'
at a time when 'Eldorado' was still on our screens (and watched avidly
by me, at least.)
I knd of hope that they still play the song even though no-one can now
remember anything about the programme.

I don't remember that as a first line.
To prove my sadness, here they are :
'I went out with a famous DJ's sisters friend
I was on Crackerjack at the age of 10
And I saw the Sex Pistols play down the 100 Club (did you Ken?)
And I spent New Year's Eve at Sensible's Den
Preposterous Tales (now then, now then)
preposterous tales (now then, now then)
etc etc
'I won 1000 pounds playing Brag last night (come off it Ken)
I went to Amsterdam to start a riot
And I once saw the Palace score 4 goals away from home (what?)
And I've won every game of Trivial Pursuit I've ever played (you haven't
played me, Ken)
Preposterous tales (etc etc)
' I once ate 6 Mars Bars in half an hour
Whilst working on a site, I unearthed a bomb
And I once had a shower, with 2 American girls
(What, at the same time? That's preposterous!)'
Not to mention the talky bits about Ken drinking heavily again.
That's from the album version off 'It's Like Everything Else'.
No applause please. Just throw money.
