The Knicker Elastic King


C              C/B      C/A         C/G             Fm 
   He used to travel in bath cubes,      until the slump came, 
  G                F           G                  F 
Faced with re - dundancy, he turned his mind to other things, 
     G               F       C 
And soon became a household name! 


    G                      F 
(Knicker elastic...)  ...everybody used it, 
    G                      F 
(Knicker elastic...)  ...nobody refused it, 
   Ab         Bb    C          Ab          Bb    C 
Knicker E - lastic King, the Knicker E - lastic King! 


    G       G/F          G/E       G/Eb 
A self-made man with a business to run, 
       G         G/F         G/E   G/Eb 
And something to sell ...to every - one, 
      Ab          Bb    C        Ab    Bb       C 
The Knicker E - lastic King!  |  /  /  /  /  |  /  /  /  /  | 


D             D/Eb                 D/B     D/A 
   He grew so rich the Gnomes of Zurich, 
                 Gm 
Were green with envy,  (Oo---- oo!) 
      A              G               A                     G 
The darling of 'The Stock Exchange' made 'The New Year's Honours List', 
     A                    G               D 
And won 'The Queen's A - ward to Indus - try'! 


   A                      G 
(Knicker elastic...) ...essence of propriety, 
   A                           G 
(Knicker elastic...) ...up - holder of society, 
      Bb          C     D      Bb    C     D 
The Knicker E - lastic King!  (Oo  - la  - la!)

   His rubber business kept ex - panding, 
              Am    Am 
But then di - sa - ster!  (Ee, by gum!)

      B                 A         B                A 
The price of raw ma - terials, coupled with in - flation, 
   B                    A           B              A 
Squeezed his global holdings, his liquid assets bottomed out, 
       B                             E 
And shrunk his retail outlet ope - ration!

   And that's the story of... 
          C           D      E 
(...The Knicker E - lastic King), ...and market forces, 
        C          D     E 
(The Knicker E - lastic King!)  horses for courses! 


   B        B/A          B/G#      B/G 
A self-made man with a business to run, 
       B         B/A     B/G#     B/G 
And something to sell to every  - one,

The Knicker E - lastic King,  (Oo - la - la!)
