Into the morning rhythm now
The key is out the lock;
The kettle's bravely boiling
As I glance up at the clock;
...
People talk of a certain thing
As being an Institution,
But what exactly is this thing?
I offer my definition:
...
Margaret Thatcher died today
She used to reign in number ten;
The news went on and on and on...
I hope she doesn't die again.
...
There was a young model from Ealing
Bereft of all passionate feeling;
Her problem was this,
She just couldn't kiss,
...
Received Pronunciation is a nonsense
A subterfuge, a con, a trick, a scam;
A ruse to keep the riff-raff from the party,
It's nothing but a clever social sham.
...
Why do all the joggers keep jogging
(The old ones I mean, not the young) ?
In their flash Lycra-fitting accessories,
By the fit-bug it seems, they've been stung.
...
When life is a bummer,
A drag and a tease;
When you can't even see
The wood for the trees;
...
There is a young man named Obama
Who thinks of himself as a charmer;
He is tall, and is thin
But has got himself into
...
Let me lie in my bath
Let me soak in the heat
From the tip of my head
To the toes of my feet.
...
A clever young man named Navid,
A Karate recruit of great deed,
Was full of youth's bloom
And would dash round the room
...
