John the Wood went out one dayTo view the scene from a different
angleHe stood and watched a child at playA-tinkling on an old
triangleDave the Drum who was passing byBought the toy with a
coin he'd picked upYou should have seen the gleam in his
eyeAs he saw a ?tune he's gleaned up? shined upLa la la la
la la la la la la la la laLa la la la la la la la la la la la
laOut in the rain if you want a cup of teaDodge the puddles in
the yardThe lord of the land's coming round to
complainIt's hardThe peacock flew to a very high treeHe
didn't like grass or concrete fairiesPut me where the
action isI'd rather be with the next-door hairiesSimon
spied the bathroom doorIn his hand's a herb shampooWaiting
for the waters rawSo little time, so much to doLa la la la la la
la la la la la la laLa la la la la la la la la la la la laStand
in a line, take a book alongThere's time for a game of
cardsNow it's your turn and the water's all
goneIt's coldThe next to appear was the . . .He needs a
rest or at least he says soYou probably think that he's
flipped his lid'Cos he wears high heels and a snow-white
trousseauFive foot three yet he stands so tallAnd on the ground
his feet are neverFriends may come and friends may goBut the
fiddle bill goes on for everLa la la la la la la la la la la la
laLa la la la la la la la la la la la laThe music room would
make you grinIt's cold as a freezing pitThere's a hole
in the wall where a lorry came inLet's splitI quite like a
breast of chickenAnd I'm crazy about aspic and roast
quailsBut the sight to make my pulse rate quickenIs a dozen nice
fat snailsOn the other hand, there's Pegg on the bassWhose
tastes in food are very much widerYou'll see a smile light
up his faceAt a couple of kippers and a glass of ciderLa la la
la la la la la la la la la laLa la la la la la la la la la la la
laStand on a chair if you want to watch the boxThe fleas can jump
a milePeer through the haze watching Top Of The PopsAnd smile
