David Johansen is brilliant and versatile. this is quite a leap in the spectrum from shooting dope and "dancing like a monkey".

The lyrics and melody were written by Huw Gower and David Johansen.
'The Holy Dad' is borrowed from Flann O'Brien's book 'The Third Policeman'. 'Tie Me Kangaroo Down, Sport' is a song by Australian Rolf Harris.

Brilliantly operatic, isn't it? But there a few corrections I'd like to make to the lyrics:
NOT "Red Stripe and McGunnick and sons" BUT "Red Stripe in the hot Jamaican sun".[Red Stripe is brewed in Jamaica.]
Not "That would make an oxbow chunder" BUT "That would make an Aboo chunder". [An Aboo is an Australian Aborigine.]
NOT "But Harrison" BUT "By comparison".
Not "conaisseur" BUT "connoiseur".
On the other hand you got Urquell right; Buster left off the R singing it. Maybe he'd had a few.
