We've spent a lot of time together
Poppy Brown and I,
Sitting by the window-ledge
Staring at the sky;
...
We're sighing because it's just all we can do,
We've tried all there is just to get through to you;
You say that you'll try to be better next time,
We're afraid that, again, you're just using that line.
...
'Grab a hold of that dish-cloth our Peter,
And give me a lift with these dishes;
We don't have a genie in this house
To help us, by giving three wishes.

There was an old gardener from Jarrow
Who grew a great prize-winning marrow
It filled him with pride
But to get it outside

YOU'LL KNOW WHY
When I tell you that I love you
And you ask the reason why
...
An eccentric young man from Kilkenny
Who, skint - with no money - not any
Would teach you guitar
Then make you a star
...
Take a loaf of thick white
From out of the fridge,
Undo it, and take out two slices;
Lay both of them gently
...
There once was a fellow from France
Who did a ridiculous dance;
It's not what you're thinking
He hadn't been drinking
...
There once was a man from Peru
Who trapped a small stone in his shoe;
It felt like a whopper
As he came a cropper
