the Rimmer song


	Red Dwarf \| home the Rimmer song The song from The Rimmer Experience at the end of "Blue" has the following words: If you're in trouble, he will save the day He's brave and he's fearless, come what may Without him, the mission would go astray He's Arnold, Arnold, Arnold Rimmer Without him, life would be much grimmer He's handsome, trim, and no one's slimmer He will never need a Zimmer He's Arnold, Arnold, Arnold Rimmer More reliable than a garden Strimmer He's never been mistaken for Yul Brynner He's not bald and his head doesn't glimmer Master of the wit and the repartee His command of space directives is uncanny How come he's such a genius? Don't ask me Ask Arnold, Arnold, Arnold Rimmer He's also a fantastic swimmer And if you play your cards right, then he just might come round for dinner [Xtended version only:] He's Arnold, Arnold, Arnold Rimmer No rhymes left now apart from quimmer We hope they fade us out before we get to schwimmer Fade out you stupid plimmer If you want to here the song go to videos The final verse is heard only in the longer version of the song included in the "Red Dwarf VII Xtended" video. "Zimmer" is short for Zimmerframe, a walking frame for elderly or disabled people. It's mentioned in "Emohawk: Polymorph II" when Lister emphasises the slowness of Starbug by saying "Kryten, the Eastbourne Zimmerframe relay team could easily outrun us." "Strimmer" is U.K. slang for a weed trimmer that uses a spinning length of monofilament line. (In the U.S., it would be called a "weed eater" or "weed whacker".) Yul Brynner was the actor best known for playing King Mongkut of Siam in The King and I, a role for which he shaved his head.
