The Pink Panther (and various variations on title)
The only version with any real words apart from shouts of "The Pink Panther" on the album
version, is the one on the This Way to the Gents sampler cassette tape and double A-sided debut single, as reproduced
below.
Spoken…
We are now hunting ze Pink Pantheur!
Brring brring, brring brring (voice simulated trimtone ring!)
“Allo, Inspector Clueless ere”
So, ze Pink Panther has struck again at the Folies Bergères!
He’s mine…I’ll catch him if it’s the last thing I
do
He has broken into the chorus girls’ room and has removed all of their
underwear.
There ‘e goes! HHHey
you, bring back ze pantaloons, take them off at once
I’ll take down your particulars, oh-la-la now I know why you’s
called ze Pink Panther!
The Pink Panther!
The Pink Panther!
The Pink Panther!
The Pink Panther!
Pink!
Pink!
Pink!
The Pink Panther
Oh-la-la!
D’Accord…
