Drama on a Saturday Night
|
|
Innes Book of Records Bella was a beauty queen
|
One of a kind
|
She couldn't get ambition off her mind
|
She entered every contest
|
from Redcar to Penzance
|
She entered anywhere she stood a chance
|
Then one day, way down yonder
|
In Shanklin, Isle of Wight,
|
She became a big name overnight
|
|
She was placed above the rest
|
The winners sash across her breast
|
She wept with joy, she kissed the crown
|
She was the toast of her home town
|
Innes Book of Records (ahhh AH!)
|
|
Drama on a Saturday night
|
A story of human emotion
|
Love is as shallow as people
|
And as deep as the ocean
|
|
She posed for Sunday papers
|
wearing nothing but a smile (oo-la la!)
|
She took 'em off while putting on the style
|
She soon became the sweetheart
|
of a playboy millionaire
|
Who bought her clothes and took her everywhere
|
Innes Book of Records They were married in Las Vegas
|
She said solemnly "I do"
|
amidst t.v.cameras and Yankee ballyhoo
|
Bella frequented the nightclub scene
|
as befits an ex-beauty queen
|
She took to drink while her playboy played
|
And so it was their love decayed

|
Bella got a gun
|
Bella shot him dead (Bella shot him dead!)
|
|
"He died instantly" the coroner said
|
Same song from Rutland Weekend televisionAnd so behind dark glasses
|
Bella hid her eyes
|
It's unsightly when a woman cries
|
Just who was to blame
|
the press would soon find out
|
But as it was, the jury had no doubt
|
|
|
The verdict was guilty
|
The judge had no choice
|
He said "You get life"
|
in a serious voice
|
But Bella just laughed
|
and tearfully said,
|
"Oh what a joke,
|
I've always been dead!"
|
(aahh aahhhhhhh)
