Funniest Gig

by Manfred Mann

on So Long Dad / Funniest Gig (1967)

Surely, strawberries
Cannot be alive
Then bananas
Camp beneath my eyes

This is the funniest gig
We've ever done
With strawberries and bananas
What sort of songs are sung?

Chocolate soldiers
March us onto stage
Pluck us up
To play inside a cage

This is the funniest gig
We've ever done
With strawberries and bananas
What sort of songs are sung?

Am I asleep?
Am I asleep and dreaming?
Am I asleep and dreaming?

Suddenly
The whole place falls apart
Jars of jam
Are leaving on a cart

This is the funniest gig
We've ever done
And we are wishing
That we had never come

Am I asleep?
Am I asleep and dreaming?
Am I asleep and dreaming?

This is the funniest gig
We've ever done
With strawberries and bananas
What sort of songs are sung?

Chocolate soldiers
March us onto stage
Pluck us up
To play inside a cage

This is the funniest gig
We've ever done...
