bedtime for bonzo - by the psimians of mu

bedtime for bonzo - recorded in glorious 4-trak at lotek studios in the ’90s

well i came home today
and i turned on the television
and i tried all 17 channels
and there was nothing on any of them
except trained monkeys

trained monkeys discussing football
trained monkeys choosing washing powder
trained monkeys participating in quiz shows

the kids were kind but firm
they said, “don’t worry mum
it’s only entertainment”

i said, “entertainment?? entertainment!?!?
that’s not funny, that’s just cruel!”

bedtime, bedtime, bedtime for bonzo
bedtime, bedtime, benzodiazipine

a chimpanzee made a telephone call
to the president of america
and said, hey kid let’s you and me make a movie!
it’ll boost your popularity
it’ll keep me out of the laboratory,
it’ll help to make the world safe
for mediocracy
