[length: 05:08]
[00:01.16]The old Rocker wore his hair too long,
[00:07.67]Wore his trouser cuffs too tight.
[00:13.99]Unfashionable to the end — drank his ale too light.
[00:27.18]Death’s head belt buckle — yesterday’s dreams —
[00:33.82]The transport caf’ prophet of doom.
[00:40.52]Ringing no change in his double-sewn seams
[00:46.28]In his post-war-babe gloom.
[01:14.89]Cut along the dotted line — slip in and seal the flap.
[01:21.31]Postal competition crazy, though you wear the dunce’s cap.
[01:27.60]Win a fortnight in Ibiza — line up for the big hand out.
[01:33.46]You’ll never know unless you try — what winning’s all about — be a quizz kid.
[01:42.73]Be a whizz kid.
[01:56.26]Six days later there’s a rush telegram Drop everything and telephone this number if you can.
[02:09.25]It’s a free trip down to London for a weekend of high life.
[02:15.25]They’ll wine you; dine you; undermine you — better not bring the wife — be a quizz kid.
[02:24.77]Be a whizz kid.
[02:45.86]It’s a try out for a quizz show that millions watch each week.
[02:52.37]Following the fate and fortunes of contestants as they speak.
[02:58.36]Answerable to everyone; responsible to all; publicity dissected —
[03:06.82]Brain cells splattered on the walls of encyclopaedic knowledge.
[03:13.91]May be barbaric but it’s fun. As the clock ticks away a lifetime,
[03:21.75]Hold your head up to the gun of a million cathode ray tubes aimed at your tiny skull.
[03:33.94]May you find sweet inspiration — may your memory not be dull. May you rise to dizzy success.
[03:45.35]May your wit be quick and strong. May you constantly amaze us.
[03:52.09]May your answers not be wrong. May your head be on your shoulders.
[03:58.52]May your tongue be in your cheek. And most of all we pray that you may come back next week!
[04:08.93]Be a quizz kid.
[04:12.08]Be a whizz kid.
