This is part of the complete Exercises in Song cycle being released on this site.
"Rhyming slang" is a bonus exercise, not to be found in Raymond Queneau's original Exercices de Style nor in the translations.
To be sung to the tune of "Show Me The Way To Go Home". More information here.
Show me to my frog and toad:
I'm cream-crackered and I need a bo'!
I tumbled down the sink and now I'm daffy-ducked,
So I've got to scapa-flow.
I've been from near and far
To the Scrubs and Ringo Starr;
But you'll always hear me rabbiting on,
Like some daft Ravi Shankar.
