The Bonzo Dog Band


I have seen Mr. Apollo
Uproot trees with his bare hands 
I have seen Mr. Apollo's 
Body building plans 

He's the strongest man 
The world has ever seen 
And if you take his courses 
He'll make you big and rough 

Oh! And you can beat up bullies 'til they cry 
"Oh lah! Oh, crikey! Let go, you rotter! Don't punish me!" 

When you're tough, you're very fit 
Your voice is rough, it sounds like grit 
You are so strong, and proud of it 
Thanks to Mr. Apollo 

Follow Mr. Apollo 
Everybody knows 
He's the greatest benefactor of Mankind 

Follow Mr. Apollo 
Everybody knows 
That a healthy body makes a healthy mind 

You know! You know he's the 
Strongest man 
The world has ever seen 
And if you take his courses 
He'll make you big and rough 

Uh huh, and uh, ha, you can kick the sand 
right 
back, in their faces! Kick! Ha ha ha ha ha ha! 

When you're tough, you're very fit 
Your voice is rough, it sounds like grit 
You are so strong, and proud of it 
Thanks to Mr. Apollo

Follow... 

Yes, just give me ten years of your life, and I'll 
trade in that puny flab for living muscle.. 
Physique you deserve! 

Strong! 
Chest and shoulders to hold your shirt! 

Five years ago, I was a four stone apology 
Today, I am two separate gorillas 

No tiresome exercises, no tricks,
no unpleasant bending, Wrestle poodles and win! 

Play beach ball! Shave your legs! Lope over walls! 
Tease people! Brush them aside as though they were matchsticks!
Impress your friends!
