Anarchic, funny, irreverent, set me up for later life. I’m talking about “Monty Pythons Flying Circus” of course, It’s a bit like Marmite, you either loved it or hated it, for those not familiar with it I apologise.
The quotes are not meant to be exact, it’s just a pastiche.

LET’S TAKE A FUNNY WALK.

Let’s take a funny walk, and have a one hour argument
Let’s discuss being slapped with fish, and what stealing lupins meant
Why did the tramp crawl up the beach, where was he really going?
Why was the man playing the organ, naked with bottom showing?

Upper class twits, falling over themselves, not hard to recognise
A football game with the Long John Silvers, Gynaecologist the opposing side
“I’ve just bought an engine” says one old lady to another
“It was a bargain only £3.00” after being asked “Why” by the other

“This parrot is deceased, shuffled off its mortal coil”
Says the customer in the pet shop his blood beginning to boil
“It’s not dead it’s only stunned, Norwegian Blues go that way”
“No it’s dead, if it wasn’t nailed to its perch, at the bottom of its cage it’d lay”

“I’ve fell off my seat Brian” says the footballer to his interviewer
People christened Brian since those days have just got fewer and fewer
Mr Gumby, hanky on his head, wellingtons on feet
“How to put flowers in a vase” had us rocking in our seats

Professor Ann Elk had a theory about dinosaurs “Thin at one end, thick in the middle, thin again at the other end.
That was her theory, the theory that was hers, she was totally round the bend
The double sighted mountaineer, planning to climb both Mount Kilimanjaros
Did they ever do it, I’m afraid neither of us knows.

We’ve had our one hour argument, “It was only half an hour.” I can hear you saying.
“Anyway it wasn’t an argument, you were just gainsaying”
Now it’s time to walk away legs goose stepping, hanky flying
If I said I understood it all, I just simply must have been lying.
