Kevin Ayers

Orible Orange

I'm an orible orange

Covered in chemical spray.

I'm absolutely nasty

That's why I have to say

That I'm an orible orange

(he's an orible orange)

I'm an orible orange

(he's an orible orange)

I'm an orible orange

(he's an orible orange)

And you shouldn't eat me.

I'm a soggy white sandwich

Made from bleached white bread.

I'm absolutely nutrition-less and useless,

That's why it has to be said

That I'm a soggy white sandwich

(he's a soggy white sandwich), etc.

I'm a chemical kipper,

Coloured with poisonous red dye.

I wish I were a beautiful bloater

But next to a pat of rancid butter I lie.

I'm a chemical kipper, etc.

I'm a lamentable lentil

Lamentablentablentablentable lentil.

I'm a lamentable lentil, etc

I'm a miserable maggot,

I live in poisoned fruit.

I always have bad tummy aches,

And very often puke--blechgh!

I'm a miserable maggot

Such a miserable maggot.

Fruit ain't what it used to be.

I'm a miserable maggot, etc

I'm an unhappy apple

Covered in chemical dust

I'm absolutely toxic

So I warn you all I must

I'm an unhappy apple, etc.

you shouldn't eat me.
