7-inch single (vinyl)
Parker, Well Done is a song written by Barry Gray. It was first released in 1965, as the B-side to the Thunderbirds theme song. Although the "plot" is little more than a reworking of Lady Penelope's appearance in Trapped in the Sky, it could be described as a miniature audio-story.
Lyrics[]
Parker: "You rang, m'lady?"
Lady Penelope: "Yes, Parker. Oh, Parker?"
Parker: "Yes, m'lady?"
Lady Penelope: "I think I'd like to take a little ride. And Parker...."
Parker: "Yes, m'lady?"
Lady Penelope: "Somewhere just around the countryside. Have you prepared the Rolls-Royce? Is it ready for a run?"
Parker: "Oh, yes, m'lady! Quite alright. Everything's been done. I've lubricated all the cannon, and I've polished up the gun."
Lady Penelope: "Oh, Parker... well done!"
Lady Penelope: "International Rescue, Lady Penelope speaking."
Jeff Tracy: "Hi there, Penny. Jeff here. We've got a hot one for you."
Lady Penelope: "Ready and waiting, Jeff. May I have details?"
Jeff Tracy: "Sure thing, Penny. A foreign agent has managed to steal the small, but very vital, Nutronic Stabilizer Unit out of Thunderbird 2. From information just received from the FBI, through your Scotland Yard, he's proceeding down your motorway M4, after landing at London Airport. We need your help, Penny. Car is black saloon, make unknown. Registration number: HPJ 960 C. Repeat: HPJ 960 C. Can you take care of it?"
Lady Penelope: "Yes, Jeff. Leave it to me."
Parker: "You rang, m'lady?"
Lady Penelope: "Cancel the countryside run, Parker. We've just been called to an urgent assignment. Get out the Rolls-Royce."
Parker: "It's all ready and waiting at the door, m'lady."
Lady Penelope: "Very good, Parker."
Parker: "The vehicle in question is now just ahead, m'lady."
Lady Penelope: "Very good, Parker."
Parker: "Now, m'lady?"
Lady Penelope: "Now, Parker."
Parker: "Home, m'lady?"
Lady Penelope: "Home, Parker."
Lady Penelope: "Oh, Parker?"
Parker: "Yes, m'lady?"
Lady Penelope: "You'll have to clean the guns again, I fear. And Parker...."
Parker: "Yes, m'lady?"
Lady Penelope: "I'm sorry to have messed up all your gear."
Parker: "That's quite alright, m'lady. It's not as bad as it appears. I've got a few more jobs to do, so don't have any fears. I've got to fuel the gas bombs yet, and sharpen up the spears."
Lady Penelope: "Oh, Parker, well done! Oh, Parker...."
Parker: "Yes, m'lady?"
Lady Penelope: "Well done!"
