Intro:

Verse 1:
You who speak to me, across the fence,
,
Of common sense.
/maj
How your tomato plant will win a prize;
Won't that be nice? and by the way...
How's your wife?
+
Your holidays, were spent in Spain,
You went by train; you'll go again.
Verse 2:
Have you seen me bullfight poster on the wall?
Do you know the 'appy memory it re-calls?
/maj
Here's a photograph of me with my son, Ted;
That's me cousin, with his hanky on his head!
+
We booked in at our 'otel just after two,
And met a family from Bradford that we knew.
Interlude:
Oooh, what melo-dy-a! (Burp!)

Verse 3:
I have a sister in To-ronto who's a nurse,
And I've had a bit of bother laying turf.
/maj
It's life, not books that taught me all I've learned,
Woop, in the b'oven, my rice pudding's getting burned!
+
'Ere, have you seen the new attachment on me drill?
I must have the cat put down, 'cos he's ill.

Hey, neighbour!

Keeps me safe from,
(n.)
You...!
Interlude:
(Glockenspeil):
I'm a wobbly jelly, you're a pink blanc-mange,
I'm a sherry trifle, you're a chocolate sponge.
Your dad wears a paper hat, mine inflates bal-loons,
(n.)
Whoops! Boodly boop! (Pop!) Here comes a spoon!
Coda:
My pink half of the drainpipe,
Separates me from,
The in-credibly fascinating story of your life,
/maj
And every day to day event, in all it's minute,
And tedious at-tention to detail...
And was it a Thursday or a Wednesday?
Or, oh, no, it wasn't though.
+
Oh, who cares anyway, because I do not.
So Norman if you're normal,
I intend to be a freak for the rest of my life.
And I shall baffle you,
With cabbages and rhinoceroses in the kitchen,
Incessant quotations from "Now We Are Six",
Through the mouthpiece of Lord Snooty's,
Giant poisoned e-lectric head.
So there......
