CONFESSIONS OF THE TELETUBBIES

                                                                                                                                     By

John G. Sutton

 

My name is Tinky-Winky

I’m a Teletubby on T.V.

The children love to watch us

But they don’t know the truth about me

 

I was born and raised in Merseyside

Where The Beatles were the rage

At school I was the teachers pet

He kept me in a cage

 

Me mother was a dancer

On tables in a pub

Father, he had lots of names

Eric, Jim, Bill or Bob

 

Our home was in Mandella House

Fourteen stories tall

We had no gas or electric on

In fact we’d got bugger all

 

But I soon learned to amuse myself

In that flat, so high and stinky

And I’ve only been arrested twice

Playing with my Tinky-Winky

               

                                                                           My name is Dipsy

I’m a Tellytubby on T.V.

The children love to watch us

But they don’t know the truth about me

 

I was born in Southport

Where the ladies and gentlefolk stay

It was there that I learned about boozing

From me father who supped night and day

 

I started by nicking his empties

And swigging the dregs he had left

Then progressed to knocking back egg flip

The gin and the whisky were next

 

Age fifteen I drank like a squadie

And swore like a trooper as well

Mixing strong cider with sherry

I was on me way to hell

 

Then one day I tried a new mixture

Called jake, meths and coke, made me tipsy

The police led me off in a quickstep

And the doctor said I was a dipsy

 

My name is Po

And I’m a Teletubby on T.V.

The children all love to watch us

But they don’t know a thing about me

 

I was born to a Lord and Lady

Silver spoon fed, coat of arms

My early days spent at Eaton

Taught me to use all of my charms

 

Then on to read History at Cambridge

Bedding the Dean and his wife

The world really was my oyster

I opened it up, with a knife

 

In the city I certainly prospered

Cutting deals, from the inside of course

Ripping off the pension schemes

My way and showed no remorse

 

                                                                                                     Then some Inland Revenue bounder

Discovered my tax fraud, you know

Six years in a cell doing porridge

For a loo just a dirty old po

 

My name is La La

I’m a Tellytubby on T.V.

The children all love to watch us

But they don’t know a thing about me

 

Born male, but unsure of my gender

Mother always wanted a girl

She curled my hair, I was slender

In high heels I could do quite a twirl

 

At school I was the heroine

Played Juliet to a rough Romeo

The gym teacher taught me funny press-ups

He said I could call him Joe

 

I loved ‘The Village People’

Y.M.C.A. and ‘In The Navy’

I met lots of interesting sailors

In the bars, down by the quay

 

Some say that I’m a transvestite

They laugh at my padded bra

And smile at the pink frilly undies

Who cares, I’m Free! La La La

 

And that is the tale of the Teletubbies

Each one’s a sinner it’s true

But people don’t judge them too harshly

‘Cos they can’t be much worse than YOU!
