'Duas de Letra' Inteiramente Dedicadas ao "Dead Parrot" dos Monty Python

Seguramente um dos dez melhores sketches...

Não só dos Monty Python como também...

da História Universal do Sketch.

Wake Up Little Polly

(Wake Up Little Suzie)

Wake up Little Polly, wake up
Wake up little Polly, wake up

This sketch is rather quite silly
Like a film called «Kill Billy»
The sketch is over, (tea time) it’s five o’clock
And you’re in trouble deep
Wake up little Polly, Wake up little Polly

Well, what would think the neighbours?
What would think the viewers?
What shall we tell our fans when they say “Jolly good!”
Wake up little Polly, Wake up little Polly

Well the «miss» said you were asleep
Well, Polly baby, you look jolly stiff
Wake little Polly, wake up little Polly
I shall go home

Wake up little Polly, wake up!
Wake up little Polly, wake up!

The weather wasn’t so hot
But the sketch has a silly plot
You’re not asleep, stiff as stick
It looks like you’ve been shot
Wake up little Polly, wake up little Polly

Well, what about being trade by a slug
What about let you fall on the rug
What shall I do with an Ex-Parrot Ooh-la-la
Wake up little Polly, wake up little Polly
Wake up little Polly

Norwegian Blue

(Norwegian Wood)

I once had a parrot or should I say
He would had me
He showed me his doom
Isn’t it sad, Norwegian Blue?

He seemed to be clay
And he could stand up anywhere
So I looked around
And I noticed it wasn’t fair

I went to the pet shop bidding my time
Complained and whined
We talked until two and the lad said
«Well… I have a slug…»

He told me he wanted be lumberjack
(That would be O.K.), started to laugh
I told him I didn’t
And he crawled off to fetch an hatch

Polly didn’t awoke, I was alone
This bird had flown
So I lit a joint
Isn’t it good Norwegian Blue?

“I’m pining to see the fjords.” - Polly, «The Ex-Parrot» aka «The Non-Parrot» aka «The Parrot who pulled down the curtain and joined the invisible choir...»
