      1. @thelastgherkin That's exactly the song it's based on, funnily enough. Here's the lyrics, see what you think. http://pastebin.com/biVnwdhe

        1. @earflaps I LOVE IT. A bit clunky at points (like lines 15, 16, 21 and 22) but still pretty doable! Consider it made.

            1. @earflaps Convenient! But I always make my songs from scratch. It's less suable.

              1. @thelastgherkin Surely Modern Major General is in the public domain now?

                1. @earflaps The music, yes. (Since 1961! Blimey.) That particular recording? Probs not.

                  1. @thelastgherkin Fair enough then.

      2. @thelastgherkin I can make noises not entirely unlike someone strangling a cat...
