about

A parody of Procol Harum's 'A Whiter Shade of Pale.'

lyrics

I’ve organised the fitter,
And sourced good underlay.
I’ve used my laser measure gun,
I’ve organised the day.

I’ve looked through loads of sample books,
Each oblong carpet page.
But I think I’ve decided,
On this duller shade of beige.

I’m getting carpet.. carpet.
In my lounge and stairs and hall.
Yeah I’m getting carpet.
From wall to wall to wall.
Yeah I’m getting carpet.. carpet.
And carpet cleaning stuff,
Yeah I’m getting carpet.
Soon I’ll Hoover dull beige fluff.

Instrumental

My dark cloud off-grey curtains,
They really make me smile.
My sepia coloured wallpaper:
It makes my life worthwhile.

I’ve seen blues, yellows, reds and greens,
I like the average.
I’ve got all the colours,
In my duller shade of beige.

I’m getting carpet.. carpet.
Ohh, what colour shall it be?
Yeah I’m getting carpet.
One to suit my personality,
I’m getting carpet.. carpet.
A rainbow riot colourful.
Yeah I’m getting carpet.
Colours beige and colours dull.

Laaaaaa… (outro)
