    The Toy Dolls' chart-busting version of the popular childrens' song. All together now: oooooooooooooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOO!
    This video is a celebration of the north of England's most famous punk rock outfit. We're Mad captures the band at their best. Not so much a set of songs as a series of short stories. Packed full of witty lyrics and mad machine-gun guitar licks

      Too many "trumps" in this song and too many WHITE people having fun and this obviously makes it a real "RACIST" dog whistle, only when people start using inventions that are from their own race will we end thought crimes aka " hate speech, when Africans find out that they have invented cars, mobile phones, computers, flight and antibiotics to name a few will whitey truly know their place in world history and black Americans as the most abused people in the history of the world not having to fear traffic stops because whitey won't have a car or gun because we all know these were inventions stolen from them by whitey and can't wait for my birthing person/she/her to give birth to our first Black male presenting child,I witnessed Tyrone plant they/them resistance pole in the birthing person as I cried with joy in the corner knowing I did my bit to fight against the racists that still judge people by their content and not by their race or gender, I really hate the bigotry that stops people from seeing colour or who the sleep with, treating people the same is just so racist and we need to use the covid camps for these insane racists that are coloured blind

    Way back in the day, in the states, my friend and I used to have to blind buy punk albums. And we found a lot of good bands that way (Thankfully).
    For whatever reason we couldn't find Toy Dolls on anything other than vinyl, and he was the only one between us who had a turntable. As soon as we discovered them, he started buying up every album by them that we could find, and we used to sit and listen to them all day.
    Because of that, they're in my top three punk bands of all time.

    I have easily seen more than 100 gigs and without question the Toy Dolls was the best Gig I ever saw, helped by the fact that the venue was called "The Beer Keller" so we where drinking Shtines.
    Olga is the best guitarist imaginable and seeing him laying flat on his back in/under one of those modular "Hop-Up" stages ripping out fabulase guitar is something I will never forget.
    I could say more about this fabulas act but special mention must go to their fans who know their place in the show as they partly created it.

      Make up on his face and his hair in curls
      Have you seen Jackie?
      She's a strange strange strange little boy
      Her long black beard is her pride and joy
      And all the children follow him around
      And all the grownups try to drag her down
      So we sing
      Hey, leave Jackie alone
      Hey, his pigeons have flown
      Hey, she's never at home at all these days

    Paroles :
    To Bombay a traveling circus came, they brought an
    Intelligent elephant and Nellie was her name
    One dark night she slipped her iron chain
    And off she ran to Hindustan
    And was never seen again
    Oh
    Nellie the elephant pack her trunk
    And said goodbye to the circus
    Off she went with a trumpety trump
    Trump trump trump
    Now Nellie the elephant packed her trunk
    And trundled off to the jungle
    Off she went with a trumpety trump
    Trump trump trump
    The head of the herd was calling far far away
    They met one night in the silver light
    On the road to Mandalay
    Night by night she danced to the circus band
    When Nellie was leading the big parade
    She looked so proud and grand
    No more tricks for Nellie to perform
    They taught her how to take a bow
    And she took the crowd by storm
    Oh

    They had two or three other copies but with generic sleeves.
    Glad I could finally switch it from my wantlist to my collection.
