I can see why I wrote this and I can see why, in all probability, it didn’t make it into NewsRevue. One or two good lines though.
IT’S MENS HEALTH WEEK
(To the Tune of “It’s Good News Week”)INTRO
BBC ANNOUNCER: And now, as part of the BBC Mens Health Week., a documentary for men with testicular cancer and gonorrhoea; “Great Balls of Fire”.
VERSE 1
It’s Mens Health Week,
BBC’s new festival, about an enlarged testicle,
That looks odd when you streak;
It’s Mens Health Week,
Prostate gland is getting big, and balding men won’t wear a wig,
To hide their ugly peak.MIDDLE EIGHT
Have you seen the shows? What did they say?
Men under stress. One in ten at least is gay.
(One in ten at least is gay)VERSE 2
It’s Mens Health Week,
BBC’s huge influence, will tackle British impotence,
Of which we seldom speak;
It’s Mens Health Week,
Phone the helpline, read the book, but don’t look down and take a look,
In case you are a freak.MIDDLE EIGHT 2
Have you courted help? Which way to turn?
Claire Raynor’s crap. So’s that cow Anna Raeburn.
(Not that cow Anna Raeburn)VERSE 3
It’s Mens Health Week
BBC afflicting men, with fears about their little friend,
Which dribbles when they leak;
It drips all week,
Alan Yentob’s master plan, to paint himself as superman,
And spare us from repeats, and spare us from repeats, yes spare us from repeats.
