Down in the underground
Long after trains stop running
There’s something lurking in the tunnels
Looking to pick off random hippies
It’s got a thirst for flesh
So don’t you come a cropper
The only man to stop him is a
Working class copper
Inspector Calhoun, he’s played by
Donald Pleasence
This is manor and he’s gonna catch the killer
He’s got his cup of tea but no biscuit for dunking
He’s hanging out with Christopher lee who took a pay cut
Just to work with him
The secret of the tunnels, it really is a whopper
And the only one to figure it out
Is a working class copper
Raw Meat
AKA Death line
The whole thing is quite tragic
And quite a grizzly affair
But Pleasence picks the whole thing up
With his smashing cockney flair
He’s got an ill fitting hat
And his irascible performance is a real show stopper
He’s perfectly cast
As the working class copper
In
Raw Meat
AKA Death line
Cannibals in the underground
What will they think of next
The whole business has got the fuzz
And some random hippies really quite vexed
But there’s one thing they didn’t count on
When it came to catching the rotter
And that’s the tenacity and cups of tea
Of a working class copper

4 Wives Don
4 wives Don
Whatcha gone and done
with 4 wives Don
I mean I’ve had 2
And others I know had 3
But 4 Don.
What gone wrong
Is it just that you’re a ladies man
And they just can’t keep their mitts of yer
Is it that you’re two much bald man for one woman to handle
Or Is it that your eyes just like to wonder
4 Wives Don
4 wives Don
Whatcha gone and done
with 4 wives Don
4 is quite a lot
It’s certainly more than most
But 4 wives Don
What gone wrong
Each of those wives were for a good length of time
So I guess you tried to give it the old college try
But all of them were very close together
Did you not think about, being a single fella?
4 Wives Don
4 wives Don
Whatcha gone and done
with 4 wives Don
4 is quite a lot
But I guess one less than 5
But 4 wives Don
What gone wrong
I guess we can thank those 4 wives for your endless working
With alimony to pay the films kept coming
And what a wonderful legacy to leave
But I really feel like you should’ve given yourself a reprieve from your
4 Wives Don
4 wives Don
Whatcha gone and done
with 4 wives Don
4 is quite a lot
Henry the Eighth had seven
But 4 wives Don
What gone wrong
From those 4 wives you got 5 daughters
And while that’s delightful were you ever alone?
What a joy to be surrounded by amazing women
it’s no wonder you were never home

God bless Harold Pinter
Angels watch him while he sleeps
Donald Pleasence in the Caretaker
the ceiling it leaks
Find him a pair of shoes
No not that pair, or those others
If he could just make it to Sidcup
You’d both see, you confusing brothers
Take
Take good care of me
Donald P
Take
Take good care of me
Donald P
Born and Bred in the British Isles
And old robber an old skate
He may be stinking the place out
but you shouldn’t leave the place in such a state
If only everything was in three acts
And we all knew there was care to take
And he gained excellent notices
The role he owned was his to make
Take
Take good care of me
Donald P
Take
Take good care of me
Donald P
Tread the boards
Light the lights
Cry in the quiet
Laugh at the fights
What happens when we fill the bucket
What happens when the water drips
What happens when we no longer
Have the world at our finger tips
Take
Take good care of me
Donald P
Take
Take good care of me
Donald P

Never Say No
04:02

Never say no to your part in all of this
Put on a show and at the end blow them a kiss
There is magic waiting out in the unknown
There are places where we should’ve grown
Grab each and every opportunity
In Hollywood or Italy
Never say you’re busy never turn down a part
knowing that every one of them you’ll hit right out the park
Never ask what the budget is
Keep your name somewhere on the poster
Play the game within the biz
know the words and show up on time
In Australia or some where on the Rhine
Donald Pleasence
Celebrating Donald Pleasence
Let those eyes twinkle, even if the camera lens is foggy
Keep the corners of your mouth up, even when you’re feeling groggy
Travel the world and still stay humble
Be proud that you’re still part of the rough and tumble
Come back for the sequel like it’s the first one
Take a cameo in London opposite Richard Burton
You’ve starred in over 200 hundred films
Had many different names
From the dybbuk in the 50s to
1996 and Fatal Frames
Many of them may now be lost in time
But there’s still plenty to enjoy, probably clogging up Amazon Prime
Keep a merry countenance even if all around are crazy
Work your bleeding’ socks off let them never say you’re lazy
Play every single role like you were born to play it
And say every single line like only you could say it
Grab your overcoat and your pistol
From the soundstage of L.A. to the Riverside Theatre in Bristol

Miscellaneous Plumbing Fixtures New Milford, Connecticut
Songwriting and banging your instruments together
The main thing I love to do is write
songs. I pick up various instruments from ukulele to piano, accordion to percussion and electric guitar to harmonica and bang them about to try and get close to the noises I hear in my head but the writing comes first.
