After it was noted in an obituary that Phil May of The Pretty Things introduced Norman Wisdom to drugs, I couldn’t resist this homage. R.I.P. Phil May. And Norman Wisdom.

lyrics

Wake up, you sleepy head
Put on a blazer and cap on your head
You had too much to smoke last night
You called Mr Grimsdale a shite
Put on a record, take off your dressing gown
Listen to The Pretty Things doing Don’t Bring Me Down
What’s Good For The Goose dear
Wasn’t good for your career

Oh, The Pretty Things (oh, you pretty things)
Don’t you know you’re driving Norman Wisdom insane?
Oh, The Pretty Things (oh, you pretty things)
Don’t you know you’re driving Norman Wisdom insane?
With the Mary Jane
Goodbye Phil May and Electric Banana
