I’m fed up of being on the shelf
Along with the Wedgwood and Delft
My skin’s quite peachy

I’m fed up of being on the shelf
Along with the Wedgwood and Delft

Do you prefer coffee or tea?
If someone else makes it for me
A Connoisseur I’m not
Though I drink a lot
And constantly wanting to pee

I’m fed up of being on the shelf

Do you prefer coffee or tea?
If someone else makes it for me
A Connoisseur I’m not
Though I drink a lot

Do you prefer coffee or tea?
If someone else makes it for me
A Connoisseur I’m not

Do you prefer coffee or tea?
If someone else makes it for me
A Connoisseur I am not

I often bet on the races
And I have no “airs and graces”
A few quid is fine
And winnings all mine
Spent quickly and leaving no traces

The future looked sunny and bright
Everything was turning out right
And then, lightning struck
In the shape of a truck
The horse disappeared out of sight

I often bet on the races

The future looked sunny and bright
Everything was turning out right
And then, lightning struck
In the shape of a truck

The future looked sunny and bright
Everything was turning out right
And then, lightning struck

The future looked sunny and bright
Everything was turning out right

The story now takes a new turn
Is there something new we will learn?
We've forgotten the horse
Left at the race cours
A matter that causes concern

The future looked sunny and bright

The story now takes a new turn
Is there something new we will learn?
We've forgotten the horse
Left at the race course

The story now takes a new turn
Is there something new we will learn?
We've forgotten the horse

The story now takes a new turn
Is there something new we will learn?

Hacking round the country she went
All her inheritance she spent
She entered a race
Too slow was her pace
But she did meet an interesting gent.

Hacking round the country she went
All her inheritance she spent
She entered a race

Hacking round the country she went
All her inheritance she spent

At last she found interesting work
Which had an interesting perk
An all golden horse
It was mine, of course
With placid nature, did not jerk.
