     Absolutely not a waste. Great man who ignores his disability, first rapper and great ironic arrangement. Look at the audience reactions – fun and joyous.
     Really brightened up my morning.
     Thanks

     Gosh, There Ain’t Half Been Some Clever B*****ds Keith!

     Noel Coward was a charmer
     As a writer he was Brahma
     Velvet, jackets and pajamas
     The gay divorcee and other dramas

     There ain’t half been some clever bastards
     (Lucky bleeders, lucky bleeders)
     There ain’t half been some clever bas-tards

     Van Gogh did some eyeball pleasers
     He must have been a pencil squeezer
     He didn’t do the Mona Lisa
     That was an Italian geezer

     There ain’t half been some clever bastards
     (Lucky bleeders, lucky bleeders)
     There ain’t half been some clever bas-tards

     Einstein can’t be classed as witless
     He claimed atoms were the littlest
     When you did a bit of splitting-em-ness
     Frighten everybody shitless

     There ain’t half been some clever bastards
     Probably got help from their mum
     (Who had help from her mum)

     There ain’t half been some clever bastards
     Now that we’ve had some
     Let’s hope that there’s lots more to come

     There ain’t half been some clever bastards
     Lucky bleeders, lucky bleeders)
     There ain’t half been some clever bas-tards

     Okey-dokey
     Oh, Segovia
     Da-laa la-laa da-daa da-lee
     De dump di dump de dump-dump-diddle li-lee

     There ain’t half been some clever bastards
     (Lucky bleeders, lucky bleeders)
     There ain’t half been some clever bastards
     (Lucky bleeders, lucky bleeders)

     There ain’t half been some clever bastards
     (Lucky bleeders, lucky bleeders)
     There ain’t half been some clever bastards

   I owe you an apology.You were way ahead of me. We ex-Colonials suffer from an excess of literalness. Nevertheless still understand irony.
