Songs For Our Time (Philological Waltz / Satellite Moon / A Happy Song)

Here, in our beautiful hit parade, is the song we've built, right

Oh, it's hard to say "Hoolima kittiluca cheecheechee"
But in Tonga that means "No"
If I ever have the money it's to Tonga I shall go
For each lovely Tongan maiden there will gladly make a date
And by the time she's said "Hoolima kittiluca cheecheechee" it is usually too late!

No, I don't think so really, do you?
Now it's probably very much easier if you want to write a hit
Just to stick to the old moon in June
We tried that too, we tried our own variation on that highly unoriginal theme, like this

It's a satellite moon
It's a plagiarised tune
That duck on the lake's a decoy
There's a sodium glare
In the purified air
And the girl in my arms
Is Mabel Figworthy, and if she says "oh really?!" once more, I shall break her neck!

We feel that in this, in this, in this... time
What the world really needs most of all is, is not spite, not a lot of spite
But another simple, happy chorus song
Why not, something in which all can join for a change
Something which expresses the feelings of all the ordinary people all over the world
I think we found such a song
And it's called, it's called "Hhhwipppp eeeur"
This is a chorus song, please join in
Very interesting actually, we originally thought of calling this song "Hhhwipppp blblblbl"
We though this a rather stupid um, song we feel very much for our time

Oh you're feeling kind of blue (kind of blue)
And you don't know what to do (what to do)
When you've got a lot of troubles on your mind
If you face them with a smile
It will make your life worthwhile
And you'll find that every cloud is silver lined

Sing this happy song with me
Hhhwipppp eeeur
Just a simple melody
Hhwippp euaaayy
What, though skies above are gray
You can face the world today
If you'll only learn to say
Hwipppp eeeeur (all together)

When your life is filled with care
Hwipppp eeeeur
You will hear it everywhere
Hwipppp eeeeur
Though the world may wear a frown
Here's a way to win renown
Tell them as thеy strap you down
Hwipppp (and) eeeeur
