Bridle Song
Bridle Song
Excellent horse-like lady
you know you drive me crazy
wouldn’t you want to be my baby
wouldn’t you want to be my baby
and run around like you were crazy too
pyong-yang-a-lang, pyong-yang-a-loo
dear leader says we haven’t got a clue
They say a good commander commandeers the view
(the horseback view, the horseback view)
I was busy commandeering, there was nothing I was fearing
I never thought of running into you
Excellent horse-like lady, excellent horse-like lady
please tell me that you’re commandeering too
pyong-yang-a-lang, pyong-yang-a-loo
dear leader says we haven’t got a clue
Excellent horse-like lady
your haunches drive me crazy
you’re noodles and you’re gravy
you’re noodles and you’re gravy
Oh come and stir that gravy into stew
She’s a virgin on a stallion!
she’s the general’s embrace!
she’s everything we tell him!
she’s Mozambique and Melbourne!
she’s Bamiyan and Belgium!
she’s a general, a general disgrace!

pyong-yang-a-lang, pyong-yang-a-loo
dear leader says we haven’t got a clue
Oh the saddle and the bridle
and the way your body idles
each time you see me sidle up to you
I was feeling fairly tribal
like a wise man in the Bible
till that fateful day I cantered into you
pyong-yang-a-lang, pyong-yang-a-loo
dear leader says there’s something wrong with you!
Excellent horse-like lady
my body’s slow and shaky
like a horse that might be turning into glue
I tried to hold the line but I lost the tribal spine
yes I lost the tribal spine
I’ve a bullet here made specially for you
pyong-yang-a-lang, pyong-yang-a-loo
dear leader says he’s got his eye on you
pyong-yang-a-lang, pyong-yang-a-loo
dear leader says he’s coming soon for you
