The Going Away Party

About Me

We're good, a crackin' band. Prince William'll love us. We'll play his f'in' weddin'! Knighthoods all round boys, good job. (Er, but we're ossies sire...) Oh open a couple of tinnies for these lads then! Let's have a party ha ha. Harry, get them a Foster's each. You know cracking set you played. My father even likes you guys. "Love" he says, ha ha. You know when I'm king, between you and me, I might change the rules so you can be knighted, be ... ha... re-you-knighted, hey! Harry, where's them Foster's? This is Kate by the way, she hates you! Just joking! It's my great-grandmother's wit. She used to do Ali G... (Yes we heard that...) Oh did you, well it was BLOODY hilarious. Can you imagine? You know, I think you're better than the Arctic Monkeys who Harry likes. Harry and his NAZI monkeys! Hey Harry? NAZI! Ha! Little... Boys boys enough. Sorry father, (he-he). This is The Going Away Party. Joshua Bain was just saying he heard my great-grandmother do Ali G!! WHEN I can't for the life of me imagine! ha ha! Joshua, you know I do like the one where you sing "Love love love" like that, it seems you have been influenced both by Bach and ... ah... David Bowie and Queen?! True true. Ha ha ha Have the boys got you a drink? Oh yes, thankyou. Foster's remind you of home eh? No. Ha, that's like Spike Milligan that is. "No"!
