Bakatono bakemono henna ojisan Gamushara sekuhara henna ojisan The king is in the winter, in the winter of his prime Welcome to the kingdom of the Corkscrew King See him pour a jet of wine across a concubine See him try in vain to plunge the corkscrew in See him eat sashimi from a naked woman's breast See him drink wakame sake from her sex Send in all the dancing girls and send in all the wine He's impotent, omnipotent, and only sixty-nine Send in Dr Mojo who can turn back time Send in more Viagra to halt the decline When you're sixty-nine the sky is overcast The castle flag is flying... half mast The gate is shut, the canon blocked The flower they fire at one o'clock half-cocked The tower flops, the blossom drops The king will play the shamisen Bakatono bakemono henna ojisan Gamushara sekuhara henna ojisan The Yogi Dr Swami with his hand upon his thing Guru by appointment to the Corkscrew King Says, "A badger in the hand is worth a badger in the bush A badger down your pants, you've got to push push push" An aged man, the poet says, is but a paltry thing A tattered coat upon a stick, unless he sing So clap your hands for every wrinkle in your mortal dress Join the throng and dance along with the Corkscrew King Send in Dr Mojo who can turn back time The castle flag is flying and the weather's fine But when you're sixty-nine the sky is overcast The castle flag is flying... half mast The gate is shut, the canon blocked The flower they fire at one o'clock half-cocked The tower flops, the blossom drops The king will play the shamisen
