Milligan also wrote this with Ronnie Barker, possibly the best thing to ever appear on the Two Ronnies.

A bird in a cage
puts all hell in a rage
but not the 'insignificant twit'
he doesn't mind a bit
Bazonka
Say Bazonka every day
That's what my grandma used to say
It keeps at bay the Asian Flu'
And both your elbows free from glue.
So say Bazonka every day
(That's what my grandma used to say)
Don't say it if your socks are dry!
Or when the sun is in your eye!
Never say it in the dark
(The word you see emits a spark)
Only say it in the day
(That's what my grandma used to say)
Young Tiny Tim took her advice
He said it once, he said it twice
he said it till the day he died
And even after that he tried
To say Bazonka! every day
Just like my grandma used to say.
Now folks around declare it's true
That every night at half past two
If you'll stand upon your head
And shout Bazonka! from your bed
You'll hear the word as clear as day
Just like my grandma used to say!

I have read Puckoon more times than any other book.
Resurrecting an 11 year old thread!
On Sky Arts just now is a documentary Spike Milligan: The Unseen Archive.
Been laughing already, crikey he was a genius.

Grew up listening to the Goons, courtesy of my dad.
Have all their shows on ipod, this is a favourite of mine:
The Dreaded Batter Pudding Hurler (of Bexhill-on-Sea) - Wikipedia
We watched it too. Quite an archive.
There was a faded yet brilliant 50’s clip of Spike parodying US Raymond Chandler-esque film noir. So funny, Hislop was laughing. Something Steve Martin did 25 years later in Don’t Men Don’t Wear Plaid.
Love it.
