Timothy Grub |
| Maurice Snail and Timothy Grub |
| Swanney and Blue and Emily Grub |
| Decided one day to go into the wood |
| And build them a house and live there if they could |
| And they stayed there a while in the trees and the rain |
| Till one day two Blue Men said you’re all insane |
| And to please not come here again |
| They had a green car called, Happiness Runs |
| Friday comes and Happiness runs |
| Out of petrol and everyone gets out to push |
| And suddenly see through a gap in the bush |
| A real caravan, just like the one in their dreams |
| The gypsy doesn’t want it, for nowadays it seems |
| His home stays in one place and gleams |
| He told them that he had a horse down the lane |
| Saturday morning they went back again |
| He showed them a shed that was built out of tin |
| He opened the door and they all peered within |
| And there lying on straw was a horse black as night |
| With a star on her forehead and eyes full of light |
| And they all fell in love at first sight |
| They thought and they thought about having Black Bess |
| Timothy planted some mustard and cress |
| They lived in a cupboard and made it their home |
| And lay there and dreamed of the days when they’d roam |
| Up and down all the hills of the North countryside |
| With the dogs eating buttercups on the wayside |
| And they’d wave all the cities goodbye |
