Here they are - the lyrics for the track "Reg Nullify in Concert",
complete with an optional extra verse, not on the record...

------------------------------

Your arms
Your legs
Your heads
You're everything...
To me

I've been through all eternity
Your glistening scales of green
I don't know where they've been
You might have laid a Treen*
But, I don't care

You are my everything
You're everywhere.

Your plurid feet of blue
Red fingernails you chew
How do you go to the loo?
But, I don't care.

You are my everything
You're everywhere.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Wahey!

This is great.

Is the jury still out on whether it's Douglas Adams himself playing Nullify on the record or not? When someone suggested it on another board a few months ago and I relistened, it does seem to sound awfully like him...

This deserves a bump.

Do you think Flo ever complained of a Bump in the night?

Probably not if it was just a Mild one.

I was in a strange mood the other night and I thought it would be fun to do a jazzy, bossa nova version of Reg Nullify's song.

I've recorded it and posted it on YouTube here: http://youtu.be/ux1yM0zpv68

Hope you enjoy it!
