Mr Apollo - The Bonzo Dog Band

I have seen Mr. Apollo

Uproot trees with his bare hands

I have seen Mr. Apollo’s

Body-building plan

He’s the strongest man

The world has ever seen

And if you take his courses

He’ll make you big and rough

And… and you can beat up bullies

Till they cry «Oh, lor', oh crikey

Let go, you rotter!

Don’t punish me!»

When you’re tough (You're very fit)

Your voice is gruff (It sounds like grit)

You are so strong (And proud of it)

Thanks to Mr. Apollo

Follow Mr. Apollo

Everybody knows he’s the greatest benefactor of mankind

Follow Mr. Apollo

Everybody knows that a healthy body makes a healthy mind

You know!

You know!

He’s the strongest man

The world has ever seen

And if you take his courses

He’ll make you big and rough

And… And you can kick the sand

Right back in their faces!

Kick!

Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!

When you’re tough (You're very fit)

Your voice is gruff (It sounds like grit)

You are so strong (And proud of it)

Yes, just give me ten years of your life

And I’ll trade in that puny flab for living muscle

A physique you deserve!

Strong!

Chest and shoulders to hold your shirt up!

(He can do it for you!)

Five years ago I was a four-stone apology…

Today I am two separate gorillas!

No tiresome exercises!

No tricks!

No unpleasant bending!

Wrestle poodles and win!

Play beach ball!

Shave your legs!

(He can do it for you!)

Lope over walls!

Tease people!

Brush them aside as though they were matchsticks!

Impress your friends!
