EVEN MORE VERSATILE VERSE !

So we rushed home, very very ‘giddy’
And he said “ you’re a fine old biddy”

And he’s pretty fine as well

When he offered a double brandy....
I knew he was feeling quite randy

So we rushed home, very very 'giddy'

The meal was devine
I didn’t like to decline

When he offered a double brandy....

He's offered to pay for the champers
So it was an evening with no dampeners

The meal was devine

To wear full make up and a very posh dress
Husband's suit might even get a press

He's offered to pay for the champers

All I need now is the special occasion
When the virus stops it's people invasion

To wear full make up and a very posh dress

What’s up they’ll ask - are your joggers in the wash
Nope! With this lockdown, I’ve been saving some dosh

All I need now is the special occasion

I'll meet with all the family in the best restaurant in town
And I'll treat myself to the best evening gown.

What's up they'll ask - are your joggers in the wash?

When freedom comes I'll run down the street
Getting close to everyone I meet

I'll meet with all the family in the best restaurant in town

It feels like we’re being so antisocial
As I sit alone in my home so palacial (sorry, terrible rhyme!)

When freedom comes I'll run down the street

It’s sunny but windy where I am today
Such a shame kids can’t go out to play

It feels like we’re being so antisocial

I'm smiling from a distance as I walk my dog
And if nobody’s watching I break into a jog

It’s sunny but windy where I am today

I'm longing to give someone a hug
If only I could do that without catching the bug

I'm smiling from a distance as I walk my dog

They could only see their families on Skype
As some of them can't even type

I'm longing to give someone a hug

The older folks had very little immunity
And had to spend longer away from the community

They could only see their families on Skype

And one day they’ll tell their grandchildren how it was
The lockdown, panic buying and self-isolating because

The older folks had very little immunity

The grandchildren won't forget the whole world lock down
And how it made even lovely Granny frown

And one day they'll tell their grandchildren how it was

I hope the next generation remembers this time
and all families keep safe, yours and mine

The grandchildren won't forget the whole world lock down

Good manners will never go out of fashion
A general rule to use with a passion

I hope the next generation remembers this time

A bit more of thank you and less of I want
Works well in a bar, a shop or restaurant

Good manners will never go out of fashion

A bit more [not I bit more]

When the lockdown's over let's get on with living
Let's appreciate each other and be loving and giving

I bit more of thank you and less of I want

Everyone there from great gran to the baby
Even her next door, if she behaves, maybe,

When the lockdown's over let's get on with living

Saying all that, I wish things were normal
with a big family gathering, quite informal

Everyone there from great gran to the baby

Look after yourselves and each other
Even your annoying, pedantic big brother.

Saying all that, I wish things were normal
