FLIPPY'S OUT OF TIME
(With apologies to Mick Jagger & Keith Richards)
NOTE: There are parts in the Stones' original where the boys sing "bop, bop" behind Mick's lead. In this version, substitute "flop, flop" for "bop, bop".

You don't know what's going on,
You've been away for far too long
But you can't come back and be the first in line,
You're out of touch my Flippy,
My poor discarded Flippy
I said Flippy, Flippy, Flippy, you're out of time

Flippy, Flippy, Flippy, you're out of time
I said Flippy, Flippy, Flippy, you're out of time
You are all left out
Out of there without a doubt
'cause Flippy, Flippy, Flippy, you're out of time

A pol who wants to run away (Run away)
Discovers that he's had his day (Had his day)
It don't help ya sayin' you belong to Cryan, oh no
You're out of touch my Flippy
My poor unfaithful Flippy
I said Flippy, Flippy, Flippy you're out of time

Well, Flippy, Flippy, Flippy, you're out of time
I said Flippy, Flippy, Flippy, you're out of time
You are all left out
Out of there without a doubt
'cause Flippy, Flippy, Flippy, you're out of time

You thought you were a clever pol, (Clever pol)
You pushed Inspector General (General)
You can't come back and think it's all just fine, oh no
You're obsolete, my Flippy,
My poor old fashioned Flippy
I said Flippy, Flippy, Flippy, you're out of time

Flippy, Flippy, Flippy, you're out of time
I said Flippy, Flippy, Flippy, you're out of time
Yes, you are left out
Out of there without a doubt
'Cause Flippy, Flippy, Flippy, you're out of time

Well, Flippy, Flippy, Flippy, you're out of time
I said Flippy, Flippy, Flippy, you're out of time
Yes, you are left out, yes, you are
I said you're left out of there without a doubt
'Cause Flippy, Flippy, Flippy, you're out of time
I said Flippy, Flippy, Flippy, you're out of time... (to fade)
