E For Effort

Every bike is a folding bike
You've just got to be prepared to put the effort in
And every door is a sliding door
You've just got to be prepared to put the effort in
But not every boat
Is a gravy boat
(The buoyancy of Bisto)

Every mower is a ride-on mower
You've just got to be prepared to put the effort in
And every zoo is a petting zoo
You've just got to be prepared to put the effort in
But not every Burger King
Is a drive-through
(Flame-grilled carburettor)

And it seems to me
I'm probably not welcome there again
I made a hell of a mess
And the manageress
Said I should hang my head in shame

Every fish is a flying fish
You've just got to be prepared to put the effort in
And every bag is a sleeping bag
You've just got to be prepared to put the effort in
But not every bank
Is a sperm bank
(He's fathered many children)

And it seems to me
I'm probably not welcome there again
I made a hell of a mess
And the manageress
Said I should hang my head in shame

Every glass is a shot glass
You've just got to be prepared to put the effort in
And every computer is a laptop computer
You've just got to be prepared to put the effort in
But not every gun
Is a tattoo gun
(It still looks like your mother)

And it seems to me
I'm probably not welcome there again
I made a hell of a mess
And the manageress
Said I should hang my head in shame

And not every song
Has a satisfactory ending
