Some of the many other lyrics collections
[Slithery guitars!]
- I have seen Mr. Apollo uproot trees with his bare hands.
- I have seen Mr. Apollo's body-building plan.
- He's the strongest man the world has ever seen
- And if you take his courses he'll make you big and rough
- And.. and you can beat up bullies till they cry:
"Oh Lor', oh crickey, let go you rotter!
Don't punish me!"
- And you're tough
- You're very fit
- Your voice is gruff
- It sounds like grit
- You are so strong
- And proud of it
- Thanks to Mr. Apollo.
- Apollo. Mr. Apollo
- Everybody knows he's the greatest benefactor of mankind.
- Apollo. Mr. Apollo
- Everybody knows that a healthy body makes a healthy mind.
- You know, you know,
- He's the strongest man the world has ever seen
- And if you take his courses he'll make you big and rough
- [Ha ha] And [ha ha] you can kick the sand right back in their faces.
- Kick! Ah ha ha ha!
- When you're tough
- You're very fit
- Your voice is gruff
- It sounds like grit
- You are so strong
- And proud of it
- Thanks to Mr. Apollo.
- Apollo. Mr. Apollo
- Everybody knows he's the greatest benefactor of mankind.
- Apollo. Mr. Apollo
- Everybody knows that a healthy body makes a healthy mind.
- Yes, just give me ten years of your life and I'll trade in
that puny flab for living muscle.
Physique you deserve. Strong.
Chesty shoulders to hold your shirt up.
- Everybody knows that a healthy body makes a healthy mind.
- He can do it for you.
- Five years ago I was an four-stone apology:
today I am two separate gorillas.
- No tiresome exercises, no tricks, no unpleasant bending.
- Wrestle poodles and win!
- Play beachball;
- Shave your legs;
- He can do it for you.
- Look over walls;
- Tease people;
- Brush them aside as though they were matchsticks.
- Impress your friends.
- Apollo. Mr. Apollo
- Everybody knows he's the greatest benefactor of mankind.
- Apollo. Mr. Apollo
- Everybody knows that a healthy body makes a healthy mind.
