Bedtime for Bonzo

from Damaged in Transit by Phileas

/

lyrics

Now I’ve amused you
And clowned around
Juggled with knives
And had you laughing
At stories from my chequered past
All my daring do’s and cheap laughs
It’s not all bananas and peanuts, you know
Inside there’s a person
Thinking and breathing
Dreaming dreams in the night
Celebrating, grieving
I drag my weary bones
Up the wooden hill
Mix up a cocktail
Of powders and pills
No more fun till tomorrow
It’s good night from me
Bedtime for Bonzo
Now I’ve amused you
And played the fool
Rode a bike with oval wheels
Told you stories from the
Good old days
Of showbizz people
And glamorous deals
It’s not all a swing from tree to tree
Inside there’s a person
And that person’s me
Regretting I wasn’t greater
As I neglected the small things in life
I drag my bones
Out of the room
Wend my way through
The chemical gloom
No more fun till tomorrow
It’s goodnight from me
Bedtime for Bonzo
You didn’t think monkies
Could get the blues
Curious George on lithium
We’re just hairy little clowns
In human clothes
But when we suffer
We suffer in style
Every insult and jibe
Cuts to the bone
