Lyrics:

Why am I forgotten by the girl I love?
Because my clothes hang on me like a sack
I know I'm not athletic and look a bit pathetic
And wear most of my chest upon my back

The nation's got an A1 plan
And I might turn into a man
If I'd biceps, muscle and brawn

I'd grow spinach on my chest
Where the birds could build a nest
If I'd biceps, muscle and brawn

In competitions, exhibitions, catchers catch-catch
I would win some lovely cups and saucers to match

The girls would all love my physique
I'd let them see it twice a week
If I'd biceps, muscle and brawn

My ribs at knock-knock wouldn't play
Or rattle on a windy day
If I'd biceps, muscle and brawn

Hercules was far from slim
But I could show them more than him
If I'd biceps, muscle and brawn

In competitions, exhibitions, catchers catch-catch
I would win some lovely cups and saucers to match

The ladies' white hope I would be
They'd hope to see much more of me
If I'd biceps, muscle and brawn

- uke solo -

I'd have strength to carry on
And something good to sit upon
If I'd biceps, muscle and brawn
