when I was a woolly satyr 
and sidle up to sing  
pipes and bells and lyres you bet 
I was a one-man goat 
and got the girls all going 
woolly in my ways 
and woolly underneath
woolly in my head 
and wool between my teeth 
love!  you could bottle the stuff
ship it off in amphorae 
we'd get juiced up
and do a dance around the pot 
a tree – and I'd be maypole
what a pong!
allow some drunken slump here 
yes I was woolly in my ways 
and woolly underneath
woolly in my head 
little curls between my teeth 
but that was my forever
sad since I am come to marble
colour went, shaggy locks
and skin all froze 
nothing to tickle at all 
worn away face 
and fair enough
a nose goes first 
...find me a figleaf would ya 
not a double negative to say 
you can't get nothing up 
who wins
once modesty kicks in? 
the soul is lost 
in stone

 
A song? Dig the woolly chorus
