lyrics

TINY BONKER AND THE SANDWICH DRAGON by Joe Binks/Becky Bowler

(c) 2005

If you look up into the night sky, you will see millions and millions of stars and planets.
And they're all different, just like cheeses are all different. There's edam and brie and cheddar and bavarian smoked ham cheese.

Different people will like different sorts of cheeses, all over the universe. Isn't it lovely how all these people with different tastes manage to live in harmony with each other..

But anyway... up in the night sky is the planet where The Bonkers live. They are usually happy little things - living in their caves, inventing strange inventions and making unearthly music.

Look ! There's Tiny Bonker playing with his twanger. Mummy Bonker has got her hands over her ears. She thinks Tiny Bonker's done enough practising for today.

Maybe you should go and get sandwich, Tiny Bonker, before you make Mummy Bonker cross?

So Tiny Bonker goes off down into the caves to find the Sandwich Dragon.

What is the Sandwich Dragon doing ? He's making a giant sandwich.

What has it got in it ?

Cheese... lots of different kinds of cheese.

Tiny Bonker doesn't like cheese.
How can you not like cheese ?
Everyone likes cheese ??
Well, Tiny Bonker doesn't like any cheese. It makes him poorly.

Just try a little bit. This is a new special cheese that the Sandwich Dragon has been making. It's called John.
Tiny Bonker thinks that's a silly name.

Oh dear... I think the Sandwich Dragon is getting very upset.

What's that???
It looks like a giant piece of space-ham.
Maybe Tiny Bonker could have the spece-ham in his sandwich ?

Ah..look at that... now Tiny Bonker and the Sandwich Dragon are happy with their own different sandwiches.

The Bonkers formed in 2004 after lots of Devon Cider.
We wrote a few silly songs about cheese and nipples.
Lots of things that probably made sense at the time.
