It all comes back to Cliff

In the beginning there was Cliff
And that begat the quiff of Cliff
Above the gyrating midriff
To denim jean and neckerchief

A whiff of leather clad mischief
Which formed the new pop hieroglyph
Which didst beget the niff of kiff
Which sent the QUIFF a bit skewiff

And they begot the facial fuzz
And that begot the wha wha buzz
The crazy moon the baker drum
Uriah Heap and zeppelin hum

The Saxon/ Sabbath/ Motor head
Progressive rock/ punk/ Goth/ undead
Spinal tap/ Devils kiss
And where IN ALL of THIS was Cliff?

In some drug ADDLED reverie?
No! Cliff was living by the sea
Making聽 pop and making wine
Looking tanned and feeling fine

No time for 鈥榩aps鈥� or nosey parkers
Trading volleys with Sue Barker
Knocking out a big Christmas ballad
Then knocking up a healthy salad

Yes Cliff was doing Cliff鈥檚 own thing
Showing us that cliff could sing
Finding peace , finding God
Not caring if some thought it odd
That Cliff was breaking all the rules
By actually being happy, and being cool
And playing out the cosmic riff
Which in the end as Cliff found out
And all young bands should take note of
That it all comes back to Cliff聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽

Jagger/Richards Flanders and Swan
Torville聽 Dean the list goes on
All partnerships we know and love
Dynamic precious hand in glove

But some, they HAVE and some have not
Ascended to the very top
And walked up the aisle, and tied the knot
Then live as one above the shop

For Ant he did not marry Dec
And Torvil did not marry Dean
And Mick he dist not turn to Keef
And say 鈥� Oi, I do you know what I mean鈥�

As man and wife in the hue and cry
Of the surgical gaze of the public eye
Maintaining humour in the teeth of the gale
With perseverance to prevail

So Saturday live gives its loose salute
For all the being all that they can be
To Man and wife we raise our mugs
To the fabulous Judy Finnegan and the unacceptable face of capitalist commercial television (here in the flesh) Mr. Richard Madeley
