Right Said Fred | Right said Matt

|
| Right said Fred, both of us together, | Right said Matt, both of us together, |
| One each end and steady as we go. | Wire it up and steady as we go. |
| Tried to shift it, couldn't even lift it, | Tried to make it, all we did was break it, |
| We was getting nowhere! | We was getting nowhere! |
| And so, we, had a cup of tea and | And so, we, took a trip to Goodricke, |
| - | |
| Right said Fred, give a shout to Charlie, | Right said Matt, give a shout to Catley, |
| Up comes Charlie from the floor below, | In comes Catley from the dining hall, |
| After straining, heaving and complaining, | After muck-up, cock-up and a fry-up, |
| We was getting nowhere! | We was getting nowhere! |
| And so, we, had a cup of tea and | And so, we, took a trip to Goodricke, |
| - | |
| Charlie had a think and he thought we ought | Catley had a think and he thought we ought |
| To take off all the handles, | To rewire the transistors, |
| And the things what held the candles. | And the pretty blue resistors, |
| But it did no good (well I never thought it would). | But it did no good (well I never thought it would). |
| - | |
| Oh right said Fred, have to take the feet off, | Oh right said Matt, have to check the diodes, |
| To get them feet off wouldn't take a mo. | To test these values wouldn't take a mo. |
| Took its feet off, even took the seat off, | Checked the diodes, even checked the high loads, |
| Should have got us somewhere, but no! | Should have got us somewhere, but no! |
| So Fred said let's have another cup of tea, | So Matt said let's have a coffee and some cake, |
| And we said, right oh! | And we said, right oh! |
| - | |
| Oh right said Fred, have to take the door off, | Oh right said Matt, have move the power rails, |
| Need more space to shift the so-and-so. | Need more space to wire the so-and-so. |
| Had bad twinges taking off the hinges, | Had some mishaps moving all the big caps, |
| And it got us nowhere! | And it got us nowhere! |
| And so, we, had a cup of tea and | And so, we, took a trip to Goodricke. |
| - | |
| Right said Fred, have to take the wall down, | Right said Matt, have to change the breadboard, |
| Dat dare wall is gonna have to go. | Dat dare breadboard's gonna have to go. |
| Took the wall down, even with it all down, | Binned the breadboard, thinking that it was flawed, |
| We was getting nowhere! | We was getting nowhere! |
| And so, we, had a cup of tea and | And so, we, took a trip to Goodricke. |

| Charlie had a think and he said look Fred, | Catley had a think and he said look Matt, |
| I've got a sort of feeling, | I've got a kind of new tack, |
| If we remove the ceiling, | If we remove the feedback, |
| With a rope or two, we could drop the blighter through. | With a wire or two we can shift the signal through. |
| - | |
| Oh right said Fred, climbing up a ladder, | Oh right said Matt, shorting out the feedback, |
| With his crowbar gave a mighty blow. | With his bypass came a mighty blow. |
| Was he in trouble - half a ton of rubble | An overload meant that a large component |
| Landed on the top of his dome. | Blew up half his fingers - oh no! |
| So Charlie and me had another cup of tea, | So Catley and I had some pizza and a pie, |
| And then we went home. | And then we went home. |
| - | |
| I said to Charlie, we'll just have to leave it standing on the landing, that's all. You see the trouble with Fred is he's too hasty. And you never get nowhere if you're too hasty. | I said to Catley, you'll just have to leave it unstable on the table that's all. You see the trouble with Matt is he's too hasty. And you never get nowhere if you're too hasty. |
