Blackdown from Chromium Dockyard by Gary Le Strange

There’s a big black star on a black horizon
And I stalk black alleys with a black disguise on
There’s a big black bed in a black hotel
Where the walls and floors are black as Hell
And the free tea and coffee, they’re black as well

Black sun, black moon
Black Monday in a Black June
Black eye, black tear
Can’t see a damn thing, it’s so black in here

Hey nonny nonny nonny, let’s all go
Where the light’s so black that the lights don’t show
Gonna black myself up when I go down town
Gonna black myself up, I’m gonna black myself down

Gonna wear black slippers and black pyjamas
Then I’m gonna sit down and watch Blackorama
Well, I might stay in, but I can’t decide
The grass looks blacker on the other side
Do you wanna go take a black knuckle ride?

Black time, black space
Black Sabbath and Black Lace
Black me, black you
Do you wanna play a game of Blackeroo?

Hey nonny nonny nonny nee na no
Where the light’s so black that the lights don’t show
Gonna black myself up when I go down town
Gonna black myself up, I’m gonna black myself down

Black shirt, black jeans
Black pudding and black-eyed beans
Black knife, black fork
Black board, black cheese and chalk

Black’s the best – I’m impressed
It makes me wanna strip to my pants and vest
And shove a black thing up my bum
On a big black bus to Blackenham

Where black will reign till the end of time
Till the bongs of Black Ben cease to chime
Until the Black Prince of Blackolah
Comes bombing down from Heaven on his Yamaha

Singing:

Black is good, black is fun
Black’s OK, black’s Number One
Black is nice, black is neat
Black is special, it’s a Sunday treat

Black is higher than the highest power
Black is taller than Blackpool Tower
And I don’t give a damn if you’ve had enough

Black is God, black is love
Black is blacker than the Ace of Clubs
Too much black is good for your health
If you don’t like black, then you can just go black yourself

Black off!

Hey nonny nonny nonny, let’s all go
Where the light’s so black that the lights don’t show
Gonna black myself up when I go down town
Gonna black myself up, I’m gonna black myself down

Hey nonny nonny nonny nee na no
Where the light’s so black that the lights don’t show
Gonna black myself up when I go down town
Gonna black myself up, I’m gonna black myself down

Blackdown!

Blackout!
