Thanks to Hugh S. for the complete lyrics to Feetlebaum. But someone now hints at an
alternate version. Conspiracy touches all.
My request: Will some equally erudite person now post the complete Bonzo Dog Band
*Outro* lyrics that include the lines:
*Adolf Hitler on vibes*
and
*Roy Rogers on Trigger*
I'd be grateful
