Titty Titty Bum Bum, Presumably For A NewsRevue Smoker, 28 March 1993

My journal note for this lyric reads:

Tribute to the comedy legend Terry Randall

I’m going to guess that I wasn’t overly enamoured of Terry Randall’s March to April 1993 NewsRevue run. Presumably I wrote this for a smoker or just to show around the writers, some others of whom might well have been similarly disaffected:

TITTY TITTY BUM BUM

(A Song in memory of Terry Randall’s run to the Tune of “Chitty Chitty Bang Bang”)

 

INTRO

Titty bum bum, titty titty bum bum,

Titty bum bum, titty titty bum bum,

Titty bum bum, titty titty bum bum;

 

CHORUS 1

Ha ha titty titty bum bum, titty titty bum bum’s what we do,

And this titty titty bum bum, is a pretty dull dum News Revue;

Where has all the audience gone, they’re to thick to get the joke,

Bum bum titty titty bum bum, push pricks pubes paps and poke,

Bum bum titty titty bum bum, with TV sport and soap.

 

TV SPORT AND SOAP

East Enders screw everyone,

Brookside viewers read the Sun,

While Sky TV’s dropping like a stone;

Paul Gascoigne’s knee’s terrible,

And Vinnie Jones gropes the ball,

Mike Gatting is batting his bone.

 

CHORUS 2

Ha ha titty titty bum bum, titty titty bum bum’s all we’ve got,

And this titty titty bum bum, is a shitty rum numb not a lot;

Where have all the writers got to, they all know they’re out of luck,

Bum bum titty titty bum bum, so News Revue is stuck,

Bum bum titty titty bum bum, but we don’t give a fuck.

{Titty titty bum bum, titty titty bum bum, you’re all wankers, titty titty bum}
