Uncle Arthur |
Strikes the bell for 5 o’clock, Uncle Arthur closes shop |
Screws the tops on all the bottles, turns the lights out, locks it up |
Climbs across his bike and he’s away |
Cycles past the gasworks, past the river, down the high street |
Back to mother, it’s another empty day |
Uncle Arthur likes his mommy |
Uncle Arthur still reads comics |
Uncle Arthur follows Batman |
Round and round the rumours fly, how he ran away from Mum |
On his 32nd birthday, told her that he’d found a chum Mother cried and raved |
and yelled and fussed |
Arthur left her no illusion, brought the girl round, save confusion |
Sally was the real thing, not just lust |
Uncle Arthur vanished quickly |
Uncle Arthur and his new bride |
Uncle Arthur follows Sally |
Round and round goes Arthur’s head, hasn’t eaten well for days |
Little Sally may be lovely, but cooking leaves her in a maze |
Uncle Arthur packed his bags and fled |
Back to mother, all’s forgiven, serving in the family shop |
He gets his pocket money, he’s well fed |
Uncle Arthur past the gasworks |
Uncle Arthur past the river |
Uncle Arthur down the high street |
Uncle Arthur follows mother |
