The Scaffold were a musical, poetry and comedy trio from Liverpool,England.
They consisted of Musician Mike McGear (real name Peter Michael McCartney, the brother
of Paul McCartney), Poet Roger McGough and Comedian John Gorman. This was one of their
many comedy songs that hit the charts in the 1960's, and it got to number 4 in 1967.
The verses all follow the same chord pattern as the first verse.
The first two verses are in the key of G major, verses 3 & 4 are in the key of A major
and the final 3 verses are in the key of B major.
However playing it all in G major still sounds good - and as funny!!
P.s. singing it with a slight Liverpool accent helps! (listen to the CD to see what I mean).
What are the lyrics about? - I haven't got a clue - anyone know?
