Versatile Verse 3

There’s Nothing like a little doggie friend
All my spare cash on him I spend

If I carry on like this I’ll be overdrawn

But savour each day and don’t harbour regrets,
Try to make friends, but if not, buy pets.

There's nothing like a little doggy friend

We realise what’s important and also what’s not
Would we do anything different? Probably not a lot

But savour each day and don’t harbour regrets

Now that we've seen and done all that we want
lived life, become more confidant and nonchalant

We realize what's important and also what's not

But now time has flown and we've had to learn
Many a time, our fingers did burn

Now that we’ve seen and done all that we want

We never imagined we would ever get old
Nor heed any warning no matter how often told

But now time has flown and we've had to learn

Go to your room without supper, she said
then she'd relent and bring us sandwiches in bed

We never imagined we would ever get old

We’d never know our destination,
Get home late, Mum was full of indignation.

Go to your room without supper, she said

We’d roam the streets with gay abandon
Wandering together - completely random

We’d never know our destination

She'll see the funny side, just like when we were kids
Remember the clatter we made with the dustbin lids

We’d roam the streets with gay abandon

As she plonks her bottom on the chair, I'll slip it beneath
I'll laugh like a drain and collapse in a heap

She'll see the funny side, just like when we were kids

I’ll get my revenge with a whoops cushion
Watching horror movies starring Peter Cushing

As she plonks her bottom on the chair, I’ll slip it beneath

I know there’s nothing she would not do for me
Even though she puts salt in my cup of tea.

I'll get my revenge with a whoopy cushion

In the end we are sisters and that’s what matters
We’ll back each other up right to the rafters

I know there’s nothing she would not do for me

I'm sure she thinks she's the Queen of Sheba!
But she never gives me credit for my superior calibre

In the end we are sisters and that's what matters

Her clothes are made of the finest silk
Like Cleopatra, she bathes in asses milk

I’m sure she thinks she’s the Queen of Sheba!

She’ll beat me at Trivial Pursuit and Cluedo too
Knows the Bible cover to cover, and who begat who

Her clothes are made of the finest silk

We’ll race up Ben Nevis and I bet she’ll win
Oh she’s very competitive, my sister Lynne.

She’ll beat me at Trivial Pursuit and Cluedo too

When I get there it’ll be ‘do this’, ‘do that’
We're bound to have at least one little spat.

We'll race up Ben Nevis and I bet she'll win

I’ll look at trainline.com for an overnight sleeper
She’s older and takes on this role, as my keeper

When I get there it’ll be ‘do this’, ‘do that’

She’ll ring me up for another blether
She’ll say “I can’t wait for us to be together”

I’ll look at trainline.com for an overnight sleeper

And I must go to Scotland to see my sis
Else she’ll think there’s something amiss

She’ll ring me up for another blether

Families will party and travel will start again
I do hope so, I'm off to sunny Spain,

And I must go to Scotland to see my sis

Come all you people, let's have fun while it lasts
We'll soon all be out there with Covid in our pasts

Families will party and travel will start again

The Queen may retire, Charlie just might be King,
However, it’s unlikely that will solve anything!

Come all you people, let’s have fun while it lasts
