More Bits of Fry and Laurie
Jun. 6th, 2005 03:00 pmHere are a couple more funny clips from "A Bit of Fry and Laurie," specifically, Hugh Laurie's musical numbers (Stephen Fry can't sing. He says so in his autobiography, "Moab is My Washpot").
Mystery
All my life has been a mystery
You and I were never ever meant to be
It's why I call my love for you a mystery
Different country
You and I have always lived in a different country
And I know airline tickets don't grow on a tree
So what kept us apart is plain for me to see
That much at least isn't really a mystery
Estuary
I live in a house boat on an estuary
Which is handy for my work with the Thames Water Authority
But I know you would've found it insanitary...insanitary
Taken a violent dislike to me
I'd be foolish to ignore the possibilty
But if we'd ever actually met, you've might've hated me
Still that's not the only problem that I can see
Dead since 1973
You've been dead now...wait a minute...let me see
15 years now come next January
As a human being you are history
So why do I still long for you
Why is my love so strong for you
Why did I write this song for you
Well, I guess it's just a mystery
MYSTERYYYYY!
