White Pyjamas (with purple polka dots)
Although I'd like to be able to say that every night when the sun goes down, I put them on and dance around in white pyjamas with purple polka dots, alas I cannot. I can say that I am the owner of Franciscus Henri's 1990 album, "White Pyjamas", on VINYL (how cool is that) (except for the fact that I can't play it given my record player is broken).
I suppose I should explain. In my recent post Miscellaneous Wafflings, I mentioned that Tim knew Franciscus Henri (and managed to misspell his first name) and did his website.
For the uninitiated (I'm saying that a lot), FH is a children's entertainer, who was apparently very big in my time (around 1990) and apparently is still popular.
Well tonight on MSN we were all talking about it again so I decided to go and dig up my vinyl and have a look at the lyrics, just for old times sake. And given that I ended up typing some of them out, I'm going to post them here (as a comment, since they're too big to go here). Enjoy!
Anyway, this guy seems like such a nice man. Tim will have to introduce us some time :P
Here is his website, which Tim did:
Hello Mister Whiskers

"Here come the naughty monkey who say
'I think I try one'
'I think I try one'
'I think I try one'
Here come the naughty monkey who say
'I think I try one'
And took a coconut away."
- Franciscus Henri, "Five Coconuts"

WHITE PYJAMAS
I like white pyjamas with purple polka dots
While pyjamas with purple polka dots I like a lot
And every night when the sun goes down
I put them on and dance around in
White pyjamas with bright purple polka dots
I like yellow socks with holes where your toes stick through
Yellow socks with holes where your toes stick through
And every night when the sun goes down
I put them on and dance around in
Yellow socks with holes where your toes stick through
White pyjamas with bright purple polka dots
I like knitted hats with pom-poms on the top
A red hat that nanny knitted with pom-poms on the top
And every night when the sun goes down
I put them on and dance around in
A red hat with pom-poms on the top
Yellow socks with holes where your toes stick through
White pyjamas with bright purple polka dots
I like bright green mittens with a bright blue stripe
Bright green mittens with a blue stripe
I think they look alright
And every night when the sun goes down
I put them on and dance around in
Bright green mittens with a bright blue stripe
A red hat with pom-poms on the top
Yellow socks with holes where your toes stick through
White pyjamas with bright purple polka dots
FIVE COCONUTS
Five coconuts were hanging on a coconut tree, a coconut tree, a coconut tree
Five coconuts were hanging on a coconut tree, up high in the summer sun
Here come the naughty monkey
Who say "I think I try one"
"I think I try one"
"I think I try one"
Here come the naughty monkey
Who say "I think I try one"
And took a coconut away
- Four
- Three
- Two
- One

Wow, isn't that neat - a childhood hero. I'm happy for you that you've still got it and that it's in decent shape, complete with price sticker hee hee hee. Good website Tim! Great work.
Lol. I never take the price tag off things!
Haha, you really are a nutter you know that?
Anyways yeah I think the whole record has a reddy tinge, I'm pretty sure his hair is in fact brown and not red... Doesn't matter now, he's grey :P
