Ko-Ko's infamous 'little list' of those who would not be missed.
lyrics
(Ko-Ko:)
As some day it may happen that a victim must be found,
I've got a little list — I've got a little list
Of society offenders who might well be underground,
And who never would be missed — who never would be missed!
There's the pestilential nuisances who call you on the phone,
to ask you if you'd like to make improvements to your home,
or answer when you call to say your bill is far too high.
You think that they're in Bristol but they're really in Bombai,
And all who next on putting you on hold will then insist.
They'd none of them be missed.
They'd none of them be missed.
(Chorus)
He's got 'em on the list,
He's got 'em on the list,
and they'll none of them be missed.
They'll none of them be missed.
(Ko-Ko)
There's the fast food consumer and the others in that place,
whose stuffing does not cease,
they're sure to be obese.
And people who eat fish and chips and burp it in your face,
they never would be missed,
they never would be missed.
Then the idiot who shouts aloud with enthusiastic tone,
all night in the High Streets, the county up and down,
and the hoodie who wears baggy jeans with undies hanging out,
who's never done a day of work, he's simply just a lout.
And that annoying phenomenon, Lord Sugar's apprentice,
He's top of my list,
He never would be missed.
(Chorus)
He's got 'em on the list,
He's got 'em on the list,
and they'll none of them be missed.
They'll none of them be missed.
(Ko-Ko)
And those supermarket giants who con us with cheap tosh,
I'm sure you get my gist,
I've got 'em on my list.
They're closing our town centres and we're running our of dosh,
they're not on my shopping list,
I'll show them my big fist.
With economy beef burgers that you find in Tesco shops,
I ate one yesterday and it's given me the trots.
And those beautiful Bristolians who say such funny words,
Like 'Gurt Lush', 'daps' & 'guffed' & 'ark at ee' & 'turds'.
But it really doesn't matter whom you put upon the list,
For they'd none of 'em be missed — they'd none of 'em be missed!
(Chorus:)
He's got 'em on the list,
He's got 'em on the list,
and they'll none of them be missed.
They'll none of them be missed.
N.B. Economy Burgers gag relates to a 'horse meat found in Tesco Burgers' scandal, which happened a couple of days before the gig.
