Whipping Post!



Say that again please



Whipping Post!



Whipping Post? Ok, just a second



(Do you know that?)

Oh sorry, we don't know that one

Anything else?



Hum me a few bars of it...please

Just show me how it goes, please

Just sing, sing me Whipping Post

and then maybe we'll play it with you



Ooh-ooh-ooh



Thank you very much

And now...



Judging from the way you sang it,

it must be a John Cage composition, right?



Here we go...Montana



One two, one two three four



I might be movin' to...



Hold it! Hold it!

We can't possibly start the song off like that!

Good god!!!

That's inexcusable!



What happened to you last night?



(George has a tape of it)



George has a tape of it?

Ok, we'll use that in the second show

Ready? Montana...



Wait a minute...Whipping Post

No...Montana

One two, one two three four



It's too fast for you!



One two, one two three four



I might be moving to Helsinki soon

Just to raise me up a crop of

Dental Floss



Raisin' it up

Waxen it down

Tying it to the Whipping Post

In the middle of town



But by myself I wouldn't

Have no boss,

Cause I'd be raisin' my lonely

Whipping Post

Raisin' my lonely

Whipping Post

Raisin' my lonely

Whipping Post



Well I just might grow me some thongs

But I'd leave the hippy stuff

To somebody else...how 'bout Chester?

And then I would



Get a person

Tie him up

To the Whipping Post

And beat the living shit out of him

So that guy in the audience was satisfied



But by myself I wouldn't

Have no boss,

'Cause I'd be raisin' my lonely

Whipping Post-Floss



Movin' to Montana soon

Gonna be a Dental Floss tycoon (how unique!)

Movin' to Montana soon

Gonna be a mennil-toss flykune

(yes, it's such a ballad at this tempo)



Little Booger-bear

Boogers everywhere



And now for the thrilling conclusion to that song...
