lyrics
Let me take you back to the present day
Summer in Chicago ’68
A flabbergasting document arrives
Got a telefax on the mojo wire
Cost of living's on an all-time-high
Sure ain't just as easy to provide
Well, brother, have you heard?
'Bout the fast and forceful kicking-strike
Of the secretary bird
I said no
But I'm awfully intrigued
Won't you hang around and lay it right on me?
She said alright (now listen here)
We got freaks in the west
Freaks in the east
Power to the people now, unleash the beast
Kropotkin mixes quite the moscow mule
Brother, have you heard?
'Bout the fast and forceful kicking-strike
Of the secretary bird
Hello operator
Can you put me in touch
With the good life?
Hello operator
There's so much still to do
Just tell me how to do it right
Drop the bomb
It's just as easy as one, two, three
Now won't you just repeat after me?
I said: oh my
Alright
Now you heard
What you gotta do? Spread the word
'Bout the fast and forceful kicking-strike
of the secretary bird
Hello operator
Can you put me in touch
With the good life?
Hello operator
There's so much still to do
Just tell me how to do it right
Hello operator
Can you put me in touch
With the good, good life? (I beg ya)
Hello operator
There's so much still to do
So let's get together and do it
We gotta do it right

Recently discovered this band. IF their back catalogue, is as great as this I'll be adding them to my collection.
To my ears they sound like someone has blended early black sabbath with led zepplin's bluesier albums. A much welcome trip to the 70s hard blues heavy metal. welshwizzardd
Combining crooned murder ballads with raw, angsty hard rock hooks, Melbourne's The Ugly Kings are a wrecking crew well worth watching. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 15, 2021
