@@coryroberts7519 Yes you do, better late than never, and by the way, check out Mike's "McGEAR" album, you will LOVE it, and of course the other SCAFFOLD albums, FUN songs. By the way, Mike is also a fantastic photographer, starting with his pics of Paul and the fledgling Beatles, and his more recent black and white photographs. He is also a lovely man, with that great Liverpudlian sense of humor. I was so lucky to meet him several times over the years. Dear dear man.

The song I can still remember started " I live in a basement flat, there's no room to swing a cat, but there's room, it's true , for what we want to do ..." Luckily I was too young to understand the words :-) ...

Lily The Pink lyrics (Chorus) We'll drink a drink a drink To lily the pink the pink the pink The saviour of our human race For she invented, medicinal compound Most efficacious in every case Mr freers had sticky out ears And it made him awful shy And so they gave him medicinal compound And now he's learning how to fly Brother Tony was notably bony He would never eat his meals And so they gave him medicinal compound Now they move him round on wheels We'll drink a drink a drink To lily the pink the pink the pink The saviour of the human race For she invented medicinal compound Most efficacious in every case Old Ebenezer thought he was Julius Caesar And so they put him in a home Where they gave him medicnal compound And now he's emporor of Rome Jonny Hammer, had a terrible st st st st stammer He could hardly sssay a word And so they gave him medicinal compound Now's he's seen, but never heard Chorus Aunty Milly ran willy nilly When her legs they did recede So they looked on medicinal compound Now they call her milipede Jennifer Eccles, had terrible freckles And the boys all called her names But she changed with medicinal compound Now he joins in all the games Chorus Lily the pink she turned to drink She filled up with parafin inside And despite her medicinal compound Sadly piccalilli died Up to heaven her soul ascended All the church bells they did ring She took with her medicinal compound Hark the herald angels sing Chorus

As you will know if you listen to the record, the lyric here is very different. I guess they were restricted to a three-minute time slot and therefore - maybe to obtain maximum impact - decided to jumble up the lines (including repeating the one about going into a "home") and to parody American gospel in the final verse. Scaffold = punks before their time

If they hadn't sung it so bloody slow, they could have sung all the lyrics in that same three minutes. Frankly, I think they must have had a bit of Medicinal Compound before the show, and just couldn't remember the words.

This hit by The Scaffold was the 228th #1 song of the Rock Era in the United Kingdom. It was the last #1 song of 1968 and first #1 song of 1969 in the UK. What will the music scene be like in the UK in 1969? As the late Casey Kasem always said, "Stay tuned."

They were actually the first rock "supergroup" - the combination of Paul McCartney's brother, Arthur Scargill and Woody Allen is by any measure a truly awesome line up. They're obviously taking the mick in this version as they're mixing up the verses.

No offence was meant, apologies if any was caused. Love a lot of their stuff, I have a much listened to CD, would love to have seen them live.
