He used to travel
in bath cubes
until the slump came
Faced with redundancy
he turned his mind
to other things
and soon became
a household name
Knicker elastic
everybody used it
knicker elastic
nobody refused it
The Knicker Elastic King
The Knicker Elastic King
A self-made man
with a business to run
and something to sell
to everyone
The Knicker Elastic King
He grew so rich
the Gnomes of Zurich
were green with envy
The darling of
the Stock Exchange
made the New Year's
Honours List
And won the
Queen's Award
to Industry
Knicker elastic
essence of propriety
knicker elastic
upholder of society
The Knicker Elastic King
Ooh la la...
His rubber business
kept expanding
but then disaster
eee by gum!
The price of raw materials
coupled with inflation
squeezed his
global holdings
His liquid assets
bottomed out
and shrunk his
retail outlet operation
And that's the story of
The Knicker Elastic King
and market forces
The Knicker Elastic King
horses for courses
a self-made man
with a business to run
Something to sell
to everyone
The Knicker Elastic King
Ooh la la
The Knicker Elastic King
