The band evolved into a nine-piece ensemble with a light-hearted and humorous performing style.
The name "Temperance Seven" is a subtle play on words: the number seven being "one under the eight". That there were nine members or "one over the eight" implied intemperance.
They have links to Monty Python and the Rolling Stones.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yes I ask you very confidentially, ain't she sweet?
Ain't she nice? Look her over once or twice.

Just cast an eye in her direction, oh me oh my, ain't that perfection?
Oh I repeat, well, don't you think that's kinda neat?
