Skunk Frank
Skunk Frank's Mischief: A Tale of Crooked Charm and Midnight Antics
Lyrics
A silly crooked man with the jolliest van
Describing a peculiar, perhaps eccentric man with a cheerful van
Been driving streets all day to accomplish his plan
He's been driving around all day, working on his goals
Nobody knows him other than by a nickname
The man is only known by a nickname, "Skunk Frank"
Skunk Frank it is, despite his once lost fame
Despite having lost his previous fame, this nickname persists
He's been mocking people's laughs through shop's window glass
He's been ridiculing people by imitating their laughter from shop windows
Until an ex-superhero came and kicked his ass
A former superhero confronted and defeated him
For a single penny piece, Frank would get any disease
He'd willingly subject himself to any illness for a small amount of money
For a cigarette roll, he'd even say word please
He'd even beg for a cigarette in exchange for a favor
Well, he's your handsome magazine model man
He's depicted as an attractive figure, perhaps sarcastically
Of a true romance, he's a devoted fan
He admires and follows the concept of true love intensely
Hats off to you, Mr. Skunky Frankie
A toast or tribute to the character "Skunky Frankie"
All ladies are going mad for your hanky panky
Implying that women are highly interested in him
It's pretty late at night and he's looking like a shite
He appears disheveled and unkempt late at night
Taking way too many shots and he scans for a fight
Despite being intoxicated, he's seeking confrontation or trouble
But he's a silly crooked man with the jolliest van
Reiteration of the earlier description of the man and his van
And this night ain't gonna end quite by his plan
Implies that his plans for the night won't go as intended
Oh he's your handsome magazine model man
Reiterating his attractive appearance and admiration for romance
Of a true romance, he's a devoted fan
Reiteration of his admiration for true love
Hats off to you, Mr. Skunky Frankie
A repeated tribute to "Skunky Frankie" for his attractiveness
All the ladies are going mad for your hanky panky
Reiteration of women being highly interested in him
I said the handsome magazine model man
Repeating the depiction of him as a model-like figure
Of a true romance, he's a devoted fan
Reiteration of his intense admiration for true love
Hats off to you, Mr. Skunky Frankie
Repeated tribute or acknowledgment of "Skunky Frankie"
All the ladies are going mad for your hanky panky
Reiteration of the intense female interest in him
You dirty little skunk!
An exclamation directed at the character, calling him a deceitful or contemptible person
