Versatile Verse 3

I thought I'd try it on the ice rink in town
Although I still need to be careful I don't fall down

I could have a black and blue bottom but no one would see

I could have a black and blue bottom but no one would see
Or a twisted ankle and a busted knee

On the other hand I could glide so fast

On the other hand I could glide so fast
Doing graceful dance moves as others I pass

Astonishing myself with my amazing prowess

Astonishing myself with my amazing powers
I made a pie with whisky sours

We all forget sometimes, it will be fine.

Sometimes my head is like a bucket full of holes

Desdemona would be my character of choice
But what if I lost my voice

Then maybe I could be in a silent movie

Sometimes my head is like a bucket full of holes
Then I talk endless nonsense like Nick Knowles

Perhaps that means a new career as a TV presenter

Perhaps that means a new career as a TV presenter
But I'm not at all pretty and my nose is not centre

My face is pimply, my eyes are so squinted

My face is pimply, my eyes are so squinted
I look so much better through glasses that are tinted

Some with a rosy hue seem best

Some with a rosy hue seem best
Perhaps in a DKNY pair I will invest

I’ll have them dangling on one of those chains

I’ll have them dangling on one of those chains
So that they don't fall down any nearby drains.

Fishing them out would be very smelly

I’ll have them dangling on one of those chains
It’ll stop my children laughing like drains

When they hear another pair has been ‘mislaid’!

Apologies, I’ll go with henetha

Fishing them out would be very smelly
I wouldn’t do it - not on your Nellie!

I like my nails to be pristine

Fishing them out would be very smelly
It’ll make me empty what’s in my belly.

Have to go home and lie down a bit

Sorry, too slow..?

I like my nails to be pristine
Don’t mind polish with that extra sheen

I may as slap a bit of makeup on

I may as well slap a bit of makeup on
I’m pale as a ghost without, says my son.

I will rouge my cheeks, like a China doll

I will rouge my cheeks, like a China doll
My kids will say I’m a bit of a moll

Who cares what anyone thinks, says I

Who cares what anyone thinks, says I
No longer do harsh remarks cause me to sigh

The one I wanted to impress is no longer here

The one I wanted to impress is no longer here
I'm not looking for another love, let me make myself clear

Now I'm comfortable just dressing to please me

Now I’m comfortable just dressing to please me
Or just having a lie down and a cuppa tea

Never mind what anyone thinks

Never mind what anyone thinks
If I relax with a couple of drinks.

I'm just helping the brewing trade

I'm just helping the brewing trade
having afternoon tea bubbling with my mate

I can remember when dining out could happen any day

I can remember when dining out could happen any day
Now to the pub I can't even remember the way!

When we're set free everywhere will be busy

When we're set free everywhere will be busy
I’ll push my way thru to landlady Lizzy

I’ll order my favourite, she’ll pour me a pint
