Commentary

Another odd collection of various sounds typical of early Hunters and Collectors. The drums and the infamous rubbish bin (it seems) play a particularly prominent role in this track. At a guess this is a song about a man in a nightclub or something similar working on 'picking up', already in a relationship. However, as with most early Hunna's lyrics, it could mean many things (or maybe just nothing at all!).

Lyrics

It's Boo Boo Kiss
He's the King of Swing
He's drawing blood
He's the heart-throb of sob
As he's bringing in the leeches
We'll sing it to the ceiling
It's Boo Boo Kiss
And he's the King of Swing

Ma ma!
He's making snake eyes at me
Bring on the effigy
Take down the house lights
Burn the witch, burn the witch
It's the ashtray chant
He's the medicine man
So bring in the leeches
And do another Poo Poo dance

Boo Boo, Boo Boo Kiss
Come down, come down on the left foot
Boo Boo, Boo Boo Kiss
Come down, come down on the left foot
Boo Boo, Boo Boo Kiss
Come down, come down on the right foot
Boo Boo, Boo Boo Kiss
Oh I say come down, come down on the right foot

Beat the hell out of those bones
We'll beat those bones
Hey Mr Hollow face
It's the soft shoe shuffle
Here comes the snake dance
It's the last dance trance
Hey Mr Boo Boo Kiss
It's the ashtray trance

Boo Boo, Boo Boo Kiss
And I say come down, come down on the left foot
Boo Boo, Boo Boo Kiss
I say come down, come down on the left foot
Boo Boo, Boo Boo Kiss
Oh I say come down, come down on the right foot
Boo Boo, Boo Boo Kiss
I say come down, come down on the right foot
