The Black Marketeers of World War Three or "TBMOWWT" for short are:
Me with the pretty mouth on banjo
A rubbish mime halfway down a bottle of economy gin on vocals
An Octopus on the Drums and beaking vocals.
A deep south simpleton, framed for moider on the double bass
keys
A sleeping cowboy leaves beany dribble on the harmonica
Evil me plays guitar
An ARRRRRRRgyle sock plays the sanza
Morning breath and furry tongued me sings/ barks / mumbles.
