A tad more information would be helpful.

Sorry guys ‘n’ gals, you’re all miles off. Here I think is the definitive version:

I exit kitchen, tea in hand
It’s spilt by handbag-wielding grans
Kent Walton welcomes grapple fans
To view my wrestler’s legs.

My physique, if I am honest
Upstairs I am no Adonis
But my lower limbs show promise
I have wrestler’s legs.

Against my lack of skills I’ve fought
I’ve never found success at sport
On pitch, square, fairway, table or court
But I have wrestler’s legs.

No match am I for Mick McManus
Nor indeed for Leon Arras
Humiliated and embarrassed
Save for my wrestler’s legs.

She likes to watch her TV soaps
But once again I dash her hopes
She’s stranded out of reach of the ropes
Trapped by my wrestler’s legs.

Whenever she begins to nag
Another victory’s in the bag
She can’t get near the corner to tag
Past my wrestler’s legs.

Any vague idea of sex
Is rebuffed by a swift suplex
She can’t even remove the spandex
That wraps my wrestler’s legs.

Read as you listen, you know it makes sense

+whatever for ‘Grazed my’. Its the way I’ve always heard it and listening again, stil hear it that way. Have to admit that its a lyric that I’ve never been too enamoured with.

Well here's something. Simon Mayo mentioned the song during a feature on his Radio 2 Drivetime show the other day, while interviewing a doctor about Restless Legs Syndrome (thanks Richard). And he quoted the verse as ending "...raised my restless legs" It's possible.

I would render the time as 4:06.

It’s gotta be “Grazed my restless legs”, there’s no ‘b’ sound at all.
