The red car and the blue car had a race
All red wants to do is stuff his face
He eats everything he sees, from trucks to prickly trees
But smart old blue he took the milky way

He's looking for a chocolate treat, fluffy and light
Cos he knows it won't spoil his appetite

Oh no! The bridge is gone! Poor old red can't carry on!
But smart old blue he took the milky way.

Way down deep in the middle of the Congo,
A hippo took an apricot, a guava and a mango.
He stuck it with the others, and he danced a dainty tango.
The rhino said, "I know, we'll call it Um Bongo"

Don't remember the second verse.

A finger of Fudge is just enough to give your kids a treat
A finger of Fudge is just enough until it's time to eat
It's full of peppery goodness*
So very small and neat
(repeat 1st line)

*almost certainly not "peppery" but that's how I always heard it

If your transmission's got you down
or your motor falls apart,
It's time to come to Thunderbolt.
You don't need a brand new car.

We still believe in value,
and we pass it on to you.
At Thunderbolt we'll fix it right
and we'll guarantee it too.

We put the Yee Hah back in your motor and transmission.

Got a call from Mr Fryer
He's bringing round a buyer
The kitchen looked a fright
From the little do last night
Although I felt quite sickly
I had to clean it quickly
With Spray N Wipe All-Purpose
I'll clean up every surface

Spray N Wipe's a breeze
Cos it cuts through toughest grease
The kitchen's sparkling clean
And the buyer's very keen
So thank you.....Spray N Wipe.

Dour, lifeless Michael Angelis scouser voice:

"Our son Pat
is a bit nifty... with a bat
he can run in a circle
as fast as a cat."

(Suddenly goes a bit sing-songy:)

"When he gets a little peckish
he takes off his hat
93% peanuts
he likes a bit of this, likes a bit of that.
Sun-packed, fun-packed, our son Pat.
- I'll kill 'im when I get my hands on him!"

does anybody out there remember the Jive Records (i'm guessing) commercial for new releases by Kool Moe Dee and Dj Jazzy Jeff & FP that would come on MTV circa '87? with the old ass lady saying somethin like

"Kool Moe Dee says he's 'def'! That boy can hear!!"

"The Fresh Prince calls himself a 'homeboy'!! That boy NEVER calls home!"
