"Slang King" lyrics

"Slang King"

Whip wire
Whip wire
Hawk man
Slip down easy
Slip down easy
Don't make me a go-between
This is Mr. and Mrs. Smith
To whom you are speaking

(Slang king)
(Slang king)

Slang king

Words from a cheap man
Part paid type
Who got his style from a press treatise
Two pound fifty
Bottle of Brut and nausea
Magazine
It is no longer a journey down the road for him
It is now an escape route
A bright, turn off sign
Swing, fourteen, turns off, between
Swing-o greets lime green receptionist
All here is ace, all here is ace, all here is ace

Escape route
A cacophony
Slang king
Slang king

Swoop, swoop
Full media krieg
For his honor's binge
During his Scandinavian stint
He said hi to Horst, the viking
Hi La-la-la-lord Swing-o
And his triumphant procession
Down the road of quease
Dropping off, he stopped
At a British shop

(Slang king)
(Slang king)
Swoop, scoop
Slang king

At a British shop
Take it down easy
During a lull in his attack
Three little girls with only fifty pence
Had to take, had to put
The Curly Wurly back
Swoop, swoop
Scoop, scoop

Slip down easy
Slip away, at court or him and his bloody mother (Slang)
(King) Away, hyper
(Slang) Hyper (King)
Slang king

Watch, the word had right
Biz by word processor
We'll go together
Slip down away, hyper
With the young designers
The young designers, are always there
Always wanted to be there
Slip down, cacophony

Whip wire, whip wire
Slip down easy, sugar
Slip down easy, sugar
Slip down easy, sugar
(Slang king)
(Slang king)
Hawk man, whip wire
(Slang king)
(Slang king) Whip wire
Slang king
