About

A lovely bit of weirdness from Vivian Stanshall. The “clips” referred to in the title and the lyrics are Terry clips, devices used to clip cylindrical objects to bicycle frames. The single artwork depicts a naked leg (presumably Terry’s) with a Terry clip around the ankle.

The song is probably best...

Terry Keeps His Clips On Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Biking down the road
(Terry keeps his clips on)
Good advice from Dad:
"Always wear yer clips, son."
Pity that he's dead
Buried with his clips on

[Pre-Chorus]
Terry is a clean young man
But next door think he's weird
His Idi-Amin-osyncraties
Are stranger than my beard

[Chorus]
And if he's strange
(He won't change)
(He won't change)

[Verse 2]
When he rides to work
(Terry keeps his clips on)
Like any other bloke
(Terry keeps his clips on)
Slaving at the bench
(Terry keeps his clips on)
Quiet in the gents
(Terry keeps his clips on)

[Bridge]
Oh, Terry
(Oh, Terry)
Why don't you behave likе
(Why, why, why?)
Normal people doodle-oodlе-oo?
(Why, why?)
Oh!

[Verse 3]
When he goes to bed
(Terry keeps his clips on)
More advice from Dad:
"Only take yer boots orf!"
Bending for the soap
(Terry keeps his clips on)
Afterwards a fag...
Terry has a good cough

[Pre-Chorus]
Terry is an upright chap
And seldom is he rude
Because he keeps his clips clamped on
He's never in the nude

[Chorus]
And if that's strange
(He won't change)
(He won't change)

[Verse 4]
Twenty-five hours a day
(Terry keeps his clips on)
Any other way, no
Let me tell you why
(Terry keeps his clips on)
As his Dad would say:
"To stop those wasps and creepy crafties
Crawlin' up yer trousers!"
When he mows the grass
(Terry keeps his clips on)
Protects his private parts
"All the wasps can bzz off!"

[Outro]
(Terry keeps his clips on)
(Terry keeps his clips on)
(Terry keeps his clips on)
(Terry keeps his clips on)
(Terry keeps his clips on)
(Terry keeps his clips on)
(Terry keeps his clips on)
(Terry keeps his clips on)
