I don't care a jot, re-a-lly
As long as I get lots of tea
Cream filled cake must eat
My diet I’ll cheat

There is a circus here in town

I don't care a jot, re-a-lly
As long as I get lots of tea
Cream filled cake must eat
My diet I’ll cheat

I don't care a jot, re-a-lly
As long as I get lots of tea
Cream filled cake must eat

I don't care a jot, re-a-lly
As long as I get lots of tea

As we need to go for our tea
A lovely cake fills me with glee

There was an old town clerk from Tring
To very high branches would cling
One Thursday in May
While out bailing hay
"Hallelujah" we all heard him sing

There was an old town clerk from Tring
To very high branches would cling
One Thursday in May
While out bailing hay

There was an old town clerk from Tring
To very high branches would cling
One Thursday in May

There was an old town clerk from Tring
To very high branches would cling

When I wake in the wee small hours
Wish I had magical powers
To get back to sleep
I count too many sheep
Not enough sleep, my mood sours.

I count too many sheep

When I wake in the wee small hours

To get back to sleep!!

When I wake in the wee small hours

Next weekend when the clocks go back ...
One hour of daylight we will lack
So take vitamin D
Not forgetting C
Long night for an insomniac

When I wake in the wee small hours

Next weekend when the clocks go back ...
One hour of daylight we will lack
So take vitamin D
Not forgetting C

Next weekend when the clocks go back...
One hour of daylight we will lack
So take vitamin D

Next weekend when the clocks go back...
One hour of daylight we will lack

Seems sleeping at home suits me best
My cosy room , haven of rest
I'll sure get good sleep
And not make a peep
So the shed was not a good test

Next weekend when the clocks go back...

Seems sleeping at home suits me best
My cosy room , haven of rest
I'll sure get good sleep
And not make a peep
