[00:12.20] John the Wood went out one day
[00:14.53] To view the scene from a different angle
[00:16.96] He stood and watched a child at play
[00:19.27] A-tinkling on an old triangle
[00:21.77] Dave the Drum who was passing by
[00:24.20] Bought the toy with a coin he'd picked up
[00:26.82] You should have seen the gleam in his eye
[00:28.88] As he saw a ?tune he's gleaned up? shined up
[00:31.88]
[00:32.69] La la la la la la la la la la la la la
[00:36.68]
[00:37.37] La la la la la la la la la la la la la
[00:41.74]
[00:42.36] Out in the rain if you want a cup of tea
[00:44.61] Dodge the puddles in the yard
[00:46.28]
[00:47.09] The lord of the land's coming round to complain
[00:49.40] It's hard
[00:50.34]
[00:57.64] The peacock flew to a very high tree
[00:59.95] He didn't like grass or concrete fairies
[01:02.32] Put me where the action is
[01:04.82] I'd rather be with the next-door hairies
[01:07.19] Simon spied the bathroom door
[01:09.68] In his hand's a herb shampoo
[01:12.28] Waiting for the waters raw
[01:14.40] So little time, so much to do
[01:17.03] La la la la la la la la la la la la la
[01:21.71] La la la la la la la la la la la la la
[01:26.57] Stand in a line, take a book along
[01:28.82] There's time for a game of cards
[01:31.25] Now it's your turn and the water's all gone
[01:33.38] It's cold
[01:34.82]
[02:27.02] The next to appear was the . . .
[02:29.70] He needs a rest or at least he says so
[02:31.88] You probably think that he's flipped his lid
[02:34.07] 'Cos he wears high heels and a snow-white trousseau
[02:36.75] Five foot three yet he stands so tall
[02:38.87] And on the ground his feet are never
[02:41.37] Friends may come and friends may go
[02:43.49] But the fiddle bill goes on for ever
[02:46.17]
[02:47.54] La la la la la la la la la la la la la
[02:52.23] La la la la la la la la la la la la la
[02:57.22] The music room would make you grin
[02:59.40] It's cold as a freezing pit
[03:01.90] There's a hole in the wall where a lorry came in
[03:04.58] Let's split
[03:05.64]
[03:13.13] I quite like a breast of chicken
[03:15.25] And I'm crazy about aspic and roast quails
[03:17.50] But the sight to make my pulse rate quicken
[03:19.99] Is a dozen nice fat snails
[03:21.93]
[03:22.74] On the other hand, there's Pegg on the bass
[03:25.24] Whose tastes in food are very much wider
[03:27.55] You'll see a smile light up his face
[03:29.35] At a couple of kippers and a glass of cider
[03:32.66] La la la la la la la la la la la la la
[03:37.09] La la la la la la la la la la la la la
[03:41.27]
[03:41.90] Stand on a chair if you want to watch the box
[03:44.46] The fleas can jump a mile
[03:46.70] Peer through the haze watching Top Of The Pops
[03:49.07] And smile
