Oskar Tennis Champion - Momus

Uncle Oskar an intensely

Idealistic tennis star

Goes to see a guru at an

Architecture seminar

It seems the radiant city will

Soon be ushered in

Where all things will be modular

And rational and clean

Green space tennis pleasures all planned

And nothing says the man

To fear or fail to understand

The world will be Ein Lichtspiel

Schwartz Weiss Grau

As predicted by the experts

At the Bauhaus Dessau

Oh Oskar Tennis Champion

We're sorry for your frau

Now Moholy Nagy is your holy cow

My uncle is inspired to start his

Dream home right away

He steps out of the hall

But in his hurry to his great dismay

He fails to see the rake

It bangs him in the face

Causing him to trip and

To his horror and disgrace

A barrel of molasses hanging

Dangling in the sky

Falls upon my uncle and it

Hits him in the eye

It trickles down his back

My uncle's quickly stuck

To the sleepers of the

Nearby monorail track

Oh Oskar Tennis Champion

Uh oh wow

Who but Le Corbusier

Could save you now

Next time we see our hero

Two experimental trains

Are hurtling down the monorail

Towards my uncle's balls and brains

Then comes a bolt of lightning

A sudden cut in power

My uncle sees the whole fa

Ade of a residential tower

Crashing down towards him

He doesn't worry though

His survival is assured by the

Position of the window

Oh Oskar Tennis Champion

What's up doc

Help he goes send Adolf

Loos or the Keystone Cops

Oh Oskar Tennis Champion

It's all gone wrong

Who knew you'd see Utopia

But you'd be King Kong

Oskar Tennis Champion uh oh wow

Can pompous Walter

Gropius save you now

Ultra modernism it's a drag

When Jacques Tati and Buster

Keaton write your gags
