Just read about a new CD you can pre-order now, sounds interesting, it contains all the originals of the songs the Bonzo's covered.
I was aware that Mr and Mrs Mickey mouse and Jolity Farm were covers, but not all the others mentioned below. And Legs Larry Smith wrote the sleeve notes too apparently.
