More non-Who silliness

I'm a huge fan of musical comedy.  Two Ronnies, Tom Lehrer, Flanders and Swann and the Captiol Steps have all filled my life with fantastic hours of wit set to music.  For the last two months as well I've been addicted to the Mitch Benn Music Podcast (if you don't know who Mitch Benn is then he's probably best known for his work on Radio 4's The Now Show*).  http://www.mitchbenn.com/podcasts/ if you want a listen and believe me it's VERY worth a listen.  In the latest one (number 8) there's a truly touching love song to Batman (look, just go listen to the podcast and it'll all become clear) and it gave me an idea for my own love song, to a love very close to my heart.  There will be a lot more of this over the coming months, you've been warned.

I love it when I wake up

You’re there right next to me

Before I fell in love with you

I was blind, now I can see

It’s you that keeps me going

When the world gets in my face

You make me smile when I see you there

In my heart you have your place

My friends want me to leave you though

They say my love I must give up

They say they only do it to be kind

They’ve switched you for decaf in my cup.

What would I do without my caffeine?

How would I get through all my days?

It gives my strength it gives me joy

With its carbonated ways.

At first you were a casual fling

You were my red bull on the side.

Then I grew so close to you

Your energy filled me up with pride.

You introduced me to your partner

And vodka was her name

So I crave our every threesome

Because cola now just seems too tame.

I became a chocoholic

So my love for you could grow

To avoid the down once you were gone

I’d neck a double cappuccino.

What would I do without my caffeine?

How would I get through all my days?

It gives my strength it gives me joy

With its carbonated ways.

QI tells me that you’re my best friend

As you help fight off suicide

I’m a total caffeine addict

I couldn’t leave you if I tried

My friends want me to hit rehab

They’re making me go cold turkey

But I have to see you one last time

Get you right inside of me

So I’m standing at the station

I know how hard you’ve hit my health

But I now know you’re out of my league

You’ve priced yourself right off my shelf.

How will I live without my caffeine?

How will I get through all my days?

But close on two pounds per can of pure evil

With its carbonated ways.

Yes how will I live without my caffeine?

How will I get through all my days?

I can’t afford you in my life…

Let’s see if prostitution pays.
