[00:10.81]Nice man george, newsagent on the corner,
[00:13.95]Not very rich, but never any poorer,
[00:17.31]Jaunty old george, a happy sixty-three,
[00:20.55]Not very tall, but healthier than me.
[00:24.15]He whistles timeless tunes as he saunters down the street,
[00:27.51]Springs his in legs and elastic in his feet.
[00:30.46]But in the middle of the night,
[00:34.05]He steals through your garden,
[00:37.23]Gives your hosiery a fright,
[00:41.05]And doesnt say pardon.
[00:44.36]As soft as a breeze,
[00:47.35]With an arm full of underwear,
[00:51.41]On his hands and knees,
[00:53.91]
[00:54.78]Dreams about the knicker scare.
[00:58.08]Hello there george, newsagent on the corner,
[01:01.41]Hows the old car, yes the climates getting warmer,
[01:04.72]Chatty old george as you get your morning paper,
[01:07.90]Read about the knicker thief, underwear taker.
[01:11.15]Bids you good day, as you wander out the door,
[01:14.64]Never closes early, always cleans the floor.
[01:17.69]But when darkness hits the town,
[01:20.18]
[01:20.81]And theres washing on your line,
[01:23.70]
[01:24.57]Get your knickers down,
[01:27.01]
[01:27.82]Before the dreaded sign.
[01:30.20]
[01:30.82]When the clock strikes eight,
[01:34.10]And youre snuggled up in bed,
[01:37.31]Hell be at the garden gate,
[01:40.74]Filling underwear with dread.
[01:43.92]
[01:44.92]Nice man george, newsagent on the corner,
[01:48.20]He was closed today, maybe gone to mow the lawn,
[01:50.76]I had to go further down the road to get me current bun,
[01:54.83]Hello - isnt that george on page one ?
[01:58.04]No it couldnt be, but yes it is,
[02:01.41]Difficult to see from these photofits.
[02:04.17]But they are after him,
[02:06.89]
[02:07.70]Of that you can be sure,
[02:11.07]Theyve called him on the phone,
[02:13.88]
[02:14.50]Theyve knocked on his door.
[02:17.24]
[02:17.81]A-but hes gone away,
[02:20.77]Gone to stay with some mates,
[02:24.07]
[02:24.63]He got the papers early,
[02:27.92]And saw his own face.
