Dark and grey
an English film,
the Wednesday Play
We always watch
the Queen on Christmas Day
Won't you stay?

Though your eyes
see shipwrecked sailors
you're still dry
The outlook's fine though Wales
might have some rain
Saved again.

Let's skip the news boy
(I'll make some tea)
Arabs and Jews boy
(too much for me)
They get me confused boy
(puts me off to sleep)
And the thing
I hate
Oh Lord!
Is staying up late,
to watch some debate,
on some nation's fate.

Hypnotised
by Batman. Tarzan,
still surprised!
You've won the West
in time to be our guest
Name your prize!

Drop of wine,
a glass of beer dear
what's the time?
The grime on the Tyne
is mine all mine all mine
Five past nine.

Blood on the rooftops
Venice in the Spring
Streets of San Francisco
a word from Peking
The trouble was started
by a young Errol Flynn
Better in
my day
Oh Lord!
For when we got bored,
we'd have a world war,
happy but poor
So let's skip the news boy
(I'll go and make that tea)
Blood on the rooftops
(too much for me)
When old Mother Goose stops
they're out for 23
Then the rain
at Lord's
stopped play
Seems Helen of Troy
has found a new face
again.
