Suck it and see

I was walking down the road
When I saw a cleaner
He looked at me nice
But then he looked meaner
I said hey Joe why are you in a rush
He said I'm running cos I've lost my brush
I said you know you don't need to sweep it
Just push it on the ground
Lick it and keep
Lick it and keep it?
Lick it and keep it

I was walking down the road when I saw a pig
I said how do you Harold?
He said I need a wig
You see I can't decide if I'm a pig or a man
So I picked up from the road a shiny tin can
I said wear that on your head and you'll look like a soldier
He said boy that looks nice but it won't when its older
I said don't mind that Harold you're going to reap it
Just put it on your head
Lick it and keep it
Lick it and keep it?
Lick it and keep it

I was walking down the road
When I saw a fork
It was lying on the ground like it was dropped by a stork
I gave it to a woman pushing a pram
She said thanks for that and I replied no problem Ma'am
But what, am I meant to do with it now?
My baby won't use it and it can't help me milk a cow
Well I said you can send your baby to sleep with it
Just put it in its mouth
It will lick it and keep it
Lick and keep it?
Lick it and keep it

I was walking down the road when I saw a dentist
I said how come you're looking down in the mouth
He said well you know my business has gone south
I said how come? he said have you heard of chewing gum
Now everyone brushes their teeth there's no work to be done
Well that don't matter man, and I handed him a lolly
Just give one out to everyone and they'll make a folly
He said sure that's a good idea, but is it free
I said just try it out yourself
Suck it and see
Suck it and see?
Suck it and see

I was walking down the road when I saw a spider
I said what you doing now? Are you a spy or an insider?
She said don't get heavy man I'm just hanging round the corners
Looking for a new home trying catch the mourners
I said well you're a dead ringer for a high flyer
But what you need is a broom to make your web higher
She said why do I need a broom when I've got eight legs?
I said that's a good point now you can wear these clothes pegs
Clothes pegs man! What am I meant to do with those?
I said you put them on your feet you can hang up some clothes
She said ok fine but when I walk won't I creep it?
I said no problem luv,
Just lick it and keep it
Lick it and keep it?
Lick it and keep it
