A Tale Of Two Orphanages |
Mistress Mouse and Mr. Popup sit outside the foreign door |
The younger sons in Jerusalem reporting on the war |
And three blind mouse-to-plumbers have just got back from the moon |
And Harvey and the grease band singing words which have no tune |
Aha ha hah… |
Hoggart’s on the beachhead looking for another home |
Leaving nothing behind him but a photograph of Rome |
The Egyptians hanging on my wall have nothing more to fear |
And Harvey and his brass band singing words they learnt by ear |
Ahah haha haha… |
Orpheus the rambler was seen last night in France |
By the offhand of the lighthouser to pay the coastal dance |
And meanwhile back on Mount Striol, the sun comes shining down |
And Harvey and his pretty singing words which have no sound |
Aha haha haha haha… |
Cloud-bringers and go-getters get and bring what you can find |
Nobody shouts or stumbles or has any axe to grind |
Oh the priestly rant collector says his mind is on the bend |
And Harvey and his brass band make their song come to it’s end |
Well, there ain’t no point in kicking up around; |
there’s nobody here but me |
There ain’t no point in kicking up around; |
there’s nobody here but me |
