Her beady eyes don`t miss a thing
They pop out and almost go PING!

Her beady eyes don’t miss a thing
They pop out and almost go PING
She knows everyone

Her beady eyes don’t miss a thing
They pop out and almost go PING
She knows everyone
Whose daughter, whose son
And those who are having a fling

About you know who - Sam and Nell

About you know who - Sam and Nell

Goodness the stories she could tell
About you know who - Sam and Nell
He sneaks back at dawn
Creeps across the lawn

Goodness, the stories she could tell
About you know who - Sam and Nell
He sneaks back at dawn
Creeps across the lawn
All those gossiping tongues to quell.

To flirt was good sport

In the sixties we were so hip
To the adults we would give lip
Our skirts were so short
To flirt was good sport
Our parents, their tempers, would flip.

Cheeked my poor mother

Cheeked my poor mother
Teased my young brother

I look back on my wasted youth
Sometimes I was even uncouth
Cheeked my poor mother
Teased my young brother
I didn’t always tell the truth

Honesty now matters to me

Honesty now matters to me
After I nearly drowned in the sea

Honesty now matters to me
After I nearly drowned in the sea
I fibbed I could swim

After I nearly drowned in the sea
I fibbed I could swim
Just to impress Jim

Honesty now matters to me
After I nearly drowned in the sea
I fibbed I could swim
Just to impress Jim
Silly me, I think you'll agree.

Left my head gear under the bed
A lesson not learned

Left my head gear under the bed
A lesson not learned
'Got fingers burned'

I took boxing lessons instead
Left my head gear under the bed
A lesson not learned
`Got fingers burned`
But I was so easily led

My mother almost had a fit

When university I quit
