lyrics

Good evening to you, I’m sure that you might
Be a little surprised by what you’ve come across tonight
Cause when you came in and saw there was a show
You bought a drink, sat down, thought you’d give it a go
Then a guy with a ukulele steps to the mic
Says that he’s a rapper – that don’t seem right
Cause he’s nice and polite, not much of a whinger
And have you ever seen an MC that’s Ginger?
So you listen to the words that’re spat, it’s like you’ve found the Ron Weasley of Rap
He’s a sore thumb stuck into a Blancmange – it’s a bit cool, but there’s definitely something wrong
A penguin in a jungle, An ice lolly in Hell
Like when they took Zack out of Saved By The Bell
A laptop in a Western, A kitten in a Zoo
A living anachronism come true
So forget whatever you were feeling
When you saw the man in front of you singing this song
Yes this is happening so join in with feeling
And feel free to sing along

It’s Edi, Edi, The Edi Johnston Bit
With a Ukulele some daft songs and occasional quips
Make you forget all of your problems and bad relationships
It’s Edi, Edi, The Edi Johnston Bit

People say to me “What exactly are you trying to achieve?”
“What are your opinions? What do you believe”
And I say “Well it depends on what you want to ask
Can you juggle pineapples? Can you multi-task?”
“Can you make me have a happier year?”
“Can you make Donald Trump disappear?”
“Can you make Christmas last forever?”
“Can you get Blazing Squad back together?”
I’m not sure, I’ll give it a shot, but you know it’s just me and a Ukulele that I’ve got?
I’m not sure you understand what this is
It’s just me and some words that are taking the mick
Yeah sure, I’d like to have worldwide peace
But I’d also like Bake Off back on the BBC
Everyone to have their own supply of cheese
A retirement home for all the worldwide bees
Just don’t leave things like that up to me
I’d just do something stupid I guess you’d agree
It’s just me, 4 strings and a song but even if I can’t change the world I can still write a decent singalong

It’s Edi, Edi, The Edi Johnston Bit
Now’s the time to clap along like I hadn’t just asked for it
Don’t look too close or you’ll destroy all of the magic
It’s Edi, Edi, The Edi Johnston Bit

It’s Edi, Edi, The Edi Johnston Bit
The greatest ever Ukulele Musical Comic
Yeah I know that’s laboured but sometimes the words just don’t fit
It’s Edi, Edi, The Edi Johnston Bit
