They've spotted my washing! Oh no!
It's 'whites day' - glad I've got just four
But that doesn't rhyme
I don't want their slime
But it looks like there’s trouble in store

So I’m off to rescue those whites

So I’m off to rescue those whites
And find my voluminous tights
Mine frighten the birds!
And there are no words . . .

So I’m off to rescue those whites
And find my voluminous tights
Mine frighten the birds!
And there are no words . . .
Don't show them to the dog, he bites!

Post jubilee lows, I'll be bound
Flags and banners down
Packed away the crown
And feet firmly back in the ground.
