But to work I still need to go
Can't take a day off

The skyline was leaden with snow
But to work I still need to go

But I daren't take a duvet day

Will certainly enlarge your hips,
A nice salad mix
And celery sticks

Friday’s the night for a curry

Friday’s the night for a curry
Cooking gets me in a flurry

Chopping and slicing,

Cooking gets me in a flurry.
Chopping and slicing,
Peeling and dicing
Then my stews turn out like slurry

So I haunt the ready meals shelves

So I haunt the ready meals shelves
For food made by fairies and elves
