DESCRIPTION:
Peter and the Test Tube Babies are a punk rock band formed from a small town Peacehaven, England in 1978 by Del Strangefish and Peter Bywaters. Due to their humorous tongue-in-cheek lyrics, they have been considered part of the Punk Pathetique subgenre.[1] Peter and the Test Tube Babies were first featured in Sounds magazine in July 1980, and after a John Peel Radio One session, made their vinyl debut on the Brighton compilation album Vaultage 78. They also had two songs on the seminal Oi! compilation Oi! the Album in that same year.[2] They favoured absurd lyrics and strange titles, such as "The Queen Gives Good Blow Jobs."[3] In 1982, they covered the chart-topping Gary Glitter hit "I'm the Leader of the Gang (I Am)" on their album Pissed and Proud. They have continued to perform in the 2000s. Their polished, professional live show is in contrast to the non-serious nature of their lyrics.

Everywhere I go I'm first in line, don't need no money got lots of time.
Bottom of my list is tea with the mayor, got the key to the city, now you better beware.
All the beer in the bars and shops is free, everybody come down and have a drink with me.
I get free meals in every restaurant, with the key to the city I can have what I want .

I got the key to the city, now everything's free.
I got the key to the city, they shouldn't have given it to me.

I've got the best suite in the best hotel, anything I want the city pays the bill.
Do what I want I'm exempt from the law, 'cause the key to the city opens every door.

All the beer in the bars and shops is free, everybody come down and have a drink with me.
I won't' waste my time with city dignitaries, gonna make 'em regret giving it to me.
