Ernie Had a Hernia
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Too much nosh & too much booze
He spent all night in the bog with the blues
An aching head, intoxicated
He didn't even know he was constipated
He forced & he frowned, he pushed & he stained
But on the toilet seat he remained
He let out a shout as he passed out
& his gut was rearranged
No walks in the park, no drinks, no grub
He can't embark on a trip to the pub
He sits in the dark, and says don't trouble me
Counterpiont chorus:
No one sees he's a ruptured man
He can't sneeze like you normally can
They're all mean, they're all riff raff
He turns green when they make him laugh
Ernie had a. ernie had a...
Hernia, a hernie
Ernie had a. ernie had a...
Hernia, a hernie...
He had a hernia
He can't stand up, her can't lie flat
The torment in his tummy preventing that
He can't sit down, can't go anywhere
The devil in his belly proving too much to bear
He can't go out & he can't stay in
Oh what's it all about? he just can't win
No chance of a bath or to see the lavatory for him
Ernie had a...(guitar bit)
Ernie never smiles & he dare not grin
An aggravating abdomen wearing him thin
Ernie had a hernia but he did not give in
Ernia had a...
He had a hernia
