"They're Shifting His Remains To Put In Sewage Drains"

IIRC, Grandpa's Grave was even played by Dave Maynard.  Dave also had his own little shtick - a spoken word piece about "The Twister" - a person who danced "The Twist"  

I also recall a frequently-used vocal drop-in that went:  "Rub Your Belly With Linseed Oil & Wrap Your Head In Aluminum Foil!"
Anybod know where that comes from?  

Grandpa's Grave was by Peter Sellers.
