Three Minute Song
Tono: Original
Bb F
My people rang me up a couple of weeks ago
Bb F C
Yeah, Iâve got people; and a phone; and a grasp on the passage of time
Bb C Dm C Dm
Yeah they rang me up, said âTim, will you go on Ruth Jones show
C Bb F
They want you to sing a song, itâll be fine, fine, fineâ
Bb F
But the problem with my particular Åuvre,
Bb F
Is that half my songs are five minutes and over.
C
And the wisdom here at the BBC,
C
Is that viewers switch off if you go past three,
Bb F
And a lot of my songs have a bit of bad language,
Bb F
Which causes the viewers untold anguish,
C Dm
It seems their tolerance for smuttiness is reserved,
Bb C F
For pussy puns on âAre You Being Served?â.
F
And so I need a song that only goes for three minutes,
C
Without no bums or blasphemy in it,
Dm Bb C F
A lovely little song specifically written for the delicate skin of middle-class Britain.
F
I need a song with a chorus and a verse,
C
With no nasty-ass cussinâ and a-cursinâ,
Dm
And Iâm a little too lewd and a little too long,
Bb C F
Iâve gotta find myself a three-minute song.
Bb F
And they said, âRemember boy that music is like love-making
C Dm
itâs simply self-indulgent to take it past three minutes.
Bb F
Remember boy that music is like love-making,
C
Everybody loves a pianist, but length must have a limitâ¦
F
So you need a song that only goes for three minutes,
C
Without no ography or politics in it,
Dm
Youâre a little verbose and a little bit wrong,
Bb C F
Youâve gotta find yourself a clean, limit, three-minute songâ.
F
Three-hundred beats at a hundred beats-per-minute,
C
With nice clean jokes and a hoedown in it,
Dm
Something for the telly that never, ever fails,
Bb C F
To appease the viewers of BBC Wales.
Dm Bb F
And even in the bridge I wonât be lyrically adventurous,
Bb F C
intellectually unmention-ous, or racially contentious,
Dm Bb F
And I wonât make double entendres at the expense of the Chinese,
C C7
For China is a country that can bring me to my knees.
Bb F
For China, For China, , ,
C C7
is a -ry that will bring us to our knees.
N.C.
Ooh, Mr. Humphries, my pussy is all wet! (Fake laugh) Two⦠Three⦠Fore-skin
F
I need a little happy-clappy country song,
C
Nice and repetitive and not too long,
Dm
Boring enough, but not too boring,
Bb C D
With a key change here to prevent me snoring.
G
I need a song that is only three minutes,
D
Without no buggery or blasphemy in it,
Em
Something with a pleasing rhyme and rhythm,
C D
Well, if you canât beat âem, get conservative with âem.
Instrumental break:
G - D - Em - C D
G
Oh-oh, I need a song that causes no offense,
D
To flog more tickets to my concerts,
Em
By convincing the viewer that musical satire,
C
Hasnât progressed since Victor Borge,
Em C
Youâve got a telly and I want to be in it,
D G
But apparently youâll only watch for three minutes.
C D G
Yeah, apparently youâll only watch for threeâ¦
