Orange For A Head

from The Anti​-​Xmas EP by Ensonglopedia

lyrics

A man walks into a bar with an orange for a head
People
turn and stare and the pianist stops dead
He asks for a
pint of beer and the barman fills with citric dread
The barman says "Yes yes certainly sir but please can you tell
me: Why have you got an orange for a head?"

(He's got an
orange for a head etc.)
So the man said:

"I was
camping in the Amazon jungle in 1983 when a man with
disturbing piercings climbed down from a nearby tree.
He
told me that his daughter had been kidnapped by a dirty
chimpanzee, and he told me that he'd grant me 3 wishes if I'd only set her free.

"So I said, 'Sure mate, just tell
me where to start!'
And he said 'Travel North but be quick
cos there's a burning in my heart!'
So I travelled for 100
miles till I found a solitary cave where the pierced man's
daughter was being kept as a soup-making slave.
So I
murdered the chimpanzee and I cooked him in his own soup,
but I did so in an ecological way so as not to get in
trouble with the environmental groups, and I took the
pierced man's daughter back to her father and his missus,
and he was eternally grateful and he asked me to state my
wishes.
"So I said 'Wish 1: I want your daughter as my
bride'
And he said 'Consider it done, I'm just glad that
she's alive'
And I said 'Wish 2: I want to be a
millionnaire'
And he said 'Kalamazoo!' and now I've
mansions in Ditchling to spare

And he said 'What about 3?'
and I looked at him and he looked at me and I said 'Well,
there's one thing I've always wanted, I'd be so pleased if
my wish could be granted...

'I want an orange for a
head' " etc.
