There Shall Be Monsters

There was a general feeling that the end of the world was nigh.
There shall be monsters. There shall be monsters. There shall be monsters. With swollen bellies and great big lips.
And The Beast shall have six heads. And will run about the streets. On twelve legs shouting re, On twelve legs shouting re,
Chaos! Chaos. Chaos and confusion. And irritation...
Oh damn, damn, damn, damn, damn, damn, damn, damn, damn, damn, damn, damn, damn, damn, damn, Damnation!
On twelve legs shouting re In crowded places!

There shall be monsters. There shall be monsters. There shall be monsters. With swollen bellies and great big lips.
Part Two x The Boy Next Door 5 Mandy's Lament
And The Beast shall have six heads. And will run about the streets. On twelve legs shouting re, On twelve legs shouting re,

The Evangelist Monty tells of the rather less than immaculate conception of Brian.
There was a young woman called Mandy A friend of the Lords Who sold gourds In a stall.
O who desires my pretty gourds? Round and small. Five shekels for them all.
Along came a Roman Centurion... Nice gourds. Said he. Mind if I touch 'em?
Dream on. Said she.
No one gets to touch my gourds Till I see the rewards for me. Nothing is free!
Well...
He promised me half the then known world Asses' milk to bathe in every day All the gold that I could eat. A house in Rome right on the Apian Way.
Ooo.
Soon he had his way with her, Proved he was a man.
But like a rat out of an aqueduct When he was done he ran.
Mandy was abandoned All alone. Where was she to go?
Oh woe woe woe.
On twelve legs shouting re In crowded places.
And a sixteen-breasted gorgon shall squat On a pole singing in French.
