Back from her hols in la belle France
She hoped that she might meet 'the one'
Preferably a rich man's only son

Lily went on protests, End War, Save Trees, Stop Oil
She had a good inheritance, so didn't need to toil
She went to the Town Hall and sprayed the place with paint
The smell was really strong and Lily felt quite faint
She got her comeuppance when she got a nasty boil

Moving to pop music is the general rule
Some have no rhythm, can't keep in time
Some just jump about, and they think that's fine
I don't know how the instructor keeps her cool!

There's perfect hair and lashes on the glamorous one
She won't admit it, but she's had some work done
She's perma tanned in her designer swimsuit

Who decided to whitewash a ceiling

Slopped some on his carpet and cried out blow it

What would clean it? Maybe a mop?

The man said 'stand on your own two feet'
'Get a job, wash pots, drive a van.'

'I did all right with help from dad,
It's not my fault you've had it bad!'
And off he went in his nearly new car
So pleased his pensions stretched so far

Freddy bought a new car it was the deepest red
Hoping to impress some lassies into his bed
Driving pass a lassie he would always blow his horn 
But they mostly put two fingers up -
And looked at him with scorn.

Freddy gave up trying and went on his way
Then all of a sudden a lassie came his way

They should be like us, and play all day
It all depends on the bombers skill
Who he hurts, and how many he can kill
There'll be no winners, for peace I pray.

Liz was gardening, a strange sight
She planted beans and some spuds
Hoped and prayed they'd not be duds
And they grew well, to her delight.



It's Friday again -  Hoorah
I think I'll go out in my car
So in the front seat I hopped
But the car coughed and stopped

His meat and two veg got badly stewed

Wearing shorts gave him great pain
