From the many funny PSB lyrics, I want a Dog always makes me smile.

First two verses:

I want a dog, a Chihuahua
When I get back to my small flat
I want to hear somebody bark
Oh, you can get lonely
I want a dog

Don't want a cat
scratching its claws all over my habitat
giving no love and getting fat
Oh, you can get lonely
and a cat's no help with that



Woof!
And you say you never believed in luck

Go to a club, you think I'll be there
I don't go 'cause I'm not a member

That's my impression - a great lyric. I love all the lyrics to Yesterday, when I was mad too.

Hmmm, if you've got a bit of mind for double meanings, then:
"who will give whom the bigger surprise?"
is very comical.

Also I like:
"you dance to disco and you don't like rock".
You can fly away to the end of the world
but where does it get you to?

yeah, I love this one too.

also (regardless of what you think of the song):

'and I said that was cool,
cos I was already late for school
by then'

brilliant.

I'd have to be seriously drunk before I could find any PSB lyric "funny"

I think The truck-driver and his mate is quite a funny song. The idea of these two macho truck drivers dancing in the moonlight just makes me laugh :mrgreen:

"Parked inside the lay-by
their destination can wait
dancing in the moonlight
the truck-driver and his mate"

Far too many favourite quotes but not that many that I consider funny as such. JS
Having read your comment I guess that part is no longer funny to me...
wait...
hold on...
just a second...

No...it's still funny...

Tell me you love me/ Admit it, you're really impressed/
Would it not amuse you/ For me to seduce you?/
Have you ever seen me undressed?/

but coming in a close second:

Call it perfomrnace, call it art/ I call it disaster if the tapes don't start/
I've put all my life into live lip-sync/ I'm an artist, honey/
You gonna get me a drink?/

sorry to qute but i think these are the funniest as they are so cheeky it is just wrong!!!
