Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(Nicholas! Albert! Look, I don't know where they are, but I'd like you to meet my two pals, my buddies, my two amigos. I'll tell you all about them...well...)
I never gargled, I never gambled, I never smoked at all.
Until I met my two good amigos, Nick Teen and Al K. Hall.
Strange as it seems, I met in my dreams, Nick Teen and Al K. Hall.
Here's what they said to me, 'Use your head, just see your life is very, very dull"
Well, I never gargled, I never gambled, I never smoked at all.
Until I met my two good amigos, Nick Teen and Al K. Hall.
So I said to Nick, 'Nick tell me quick, what should a fellow do?'
He said to me, 'Boy, easy to see boy, you should try a cigarette or two.'
Well, I never gargled, I never gambled, I never smoked at all.
Until I met my two good amigos, Nick Teen and Al K. Hall.
So I lit a fag, and I took a drag, then to my great surprise,
I started to gasp, and coughed like a rasp,
And everything spun round before my eyes.
Well, I never gargled, I never gambled, I never smoked at all.
Until I met my two good amigos, Nick Teen and Al K. Hall.
So I said to Al, 'Al, be a pal, what do you really think?'
He said to me, 'Boy, easy to see boy, smoking's kid's stuff, pour yourself a drink.'
Well, I never gargled, I never gambled, I never smoked at all.
Until I met my two good amigos, Nick Teen and Al K. Hall.
So quick as a wink, I took a drink, swigged a glassful down.
First it seemed to hit me, then it turned around and bit me,
And everything went all spinning round.
Well, I never gargled, I never gambled, I never smoked at all.
Until I met my two good amigos, Nick Teen and Al K. Hall.
Well, here is the joke, when I awoke, it wasn't finished yet,
I noticed first a terrible thirst
And then a craving for a cigarette.
Well, I never gargled, I never gambled, I never smoked at all.
Until I met my two good amigos, Nick Teen and Al K. Hall.
Well, take my advice, this smoking is nice and the drinking is really lush.
As you can see, there's no change in me,
I'm still as pure as the driven slush.
Well, I never gargled, I never gambled, I never smoked at all.
Until I met my two good amigos, Nick Teen and Al K. Hall.
Nick Teen and Al K. Hall.
The lyrics to Rolf Harris's song Nick Teen And Al K. Hall is a humorous but cautionary tale about being persuaded to engage in risky and unhealthy behaviors by two imaginary friends, Nick Teen and Al K. Hall. The song starts with a spoken introduction where the singer introduces his two pals, Nick Teen and Al K. Hall, and explains how he never engaged in vices like smoking, gambling, and drinking until he met them. The lyrics describe how the singer first met Nick Teen and Al K. Hall in his dreams, and they told him that his life was dull and needed spicing up.
The song's chorus repeats that the singer had never smoked, gambled, or drank until he met his two amigos, but he gave in to their persuasion and tried smoking and drinking. The verses recount the singer's experiences after taking up smoking and drinking, describing how he coughed and felt dizzy from smoking and how he felt the effects of alcohol. In the end, the singer concludes that he still hasn't changed and remains "pure as the driven slush" despite Nick Teen and Al K. Hall's attempts to get him to indulge in unhealthy behavior.

Papillon by Rolf Harris
I so well remember my first love,
Summer days and fields of gold,
Me and Papillon were only 5 summers old.
We went chasing after butterflies,
In a game we couldn’t win,
Til’ the darkness of the Autumn nights would begin,
Would begin.
Papillon, Papillon,
Soon the winter will be gone,
Papillon, Papillon,
Wait til’ summer comes along.
As we grew together hand in hand,
Never dreaming of goodbye,
Was I wrong to build my childish hopes up so high?,
I’ve recounted every single one,
But the solitary day,
When she said to me that we must go separate ways,
Separate ways.
Papillon, Papillon,
Soon the winter will be gone,
Papillon, Papillon,
Wait til’ summer comes along.
Papillon, Papillon,
All the memories will remain,
Papillon, Papillon,
Til I find you once again.
I’ve been married almost 3 years now,
And a little girl is born,
Was it foolishness to christen her Papillon?,
Come the summer we’ll chase butterflies,
Til’ September sees them gone,
I’ll relive again those happy days,
With my own Papillon.
Papillon, Papillon,
Soon the winter will be gone,
Papillon, Papillon,
Wait til’ summer comes along.
Papillon, Papillon,
I’ll be thinking even then,
Papillon, Papillon,
I must lose you once again.
Papillon, Papillon,
La la la...... (x4)
Fade out.
