Bananarama are reforming to cover the Abba classic, `Waterloo', for a new album of Eurovision cover versions
BANANARAMA DHARMA
Bananarama good
Bananarama cool
Not the coiffeured produce
Of a drama school
Awkward with the make-up
Barely danced in time
Shangri-Las for later
Mistresses of mime
Flowers of the Eighties
Beautiful and wild
Seen by wolfish pop stars
Plucked and got with child
Leaving us to languish
In a time of Spice
And the Android Sisters'
Phonographic lice
Don't you hate the Nineties'
Refried Sixties charm?
Puritans in kick-flares
Tugging at your arm
With a pop polenta
For the middlebrow
Fetch Bananarama
Save the pop charts now
