Son of New Limerick. (New Limerick contd.)

That's "American" for an achiever
As 'graduate' is for school leaver
They call uni "school"
Most houses have pools
And illnesses are all called a "fever."

(Not true, but it rhymed)

Soon it will be fireworks time

Soon it will be fireworks time
But throwing bangers is a crime

Soon it will be fireworks time
But throwing bangers is a crime
I’ll just have sparklers

Soon it will be fireworks time
But throwing bangers is a crime
I'll just have sparklers
And use them starkers

Soon it will be fireworks time
But throwing bangers is a crime
I'll just have sparklers
And use them starkers
While I'm still hot and in my prime

I'm going to a club tonight

I'm going to a club tonight
I hope I don't look a real fright

I'm going to a club tonight
I hope I don't look a real fright
Got my glitter dress

I'm going to a club tonight
I hope I don't look a real fright
Got my glitter dress
So don't look a mess

I'm going to a club tonight
I hope I don't look a real fright
Got my glitter dress
So don't look a mess,
And I feel so happy and bright.

I'll dance round my bag on the floor

I'll dance round my bag on the floor
While men form a queue by the door

I'll dance round my bag on the floor
While men form a queue by the door
But then I'll awaken

I'll dance round my bag on the floor
While men form a queue by the door
But then I'll awaken
Bit shocked and shaken

I'll dance round my bag on the floor
While men form a queue by the door
But then I'll awaken
Bit shocked and shaken
And realise I’m full of remorse

I’m finding this summer remorseless

I’m finding this summer remorseless
And now I am car-less and horseless

I'm finding this summer remorseless
And now I am car-less and horseless
I could ride my bike

I'm finding this summer remorseless
And now I am car-less and horseless
I could ride my bike
Or go for a hike

I'm finding this summer remorseless
And now I am car-less and horseless
I could ride my bike
Or go for a hike
But please don’t call me gormless

I’ve gone back in time to the 60s

I've gone back in time to the 60s
Was in Brownies, in the Pixies

I've gone back in time to the 60s
Was in Brownies, in the Pixies
I was a Sixer

I've gone back in time to the 60s
Was in Brownies, in the Pixies
I was a Sixer
Now I'm a fixer

I've gone back in time to the 60s
Was in Brownies, in the Pixies
I was a Sixer
Now I'm a fixer
Of lower taxes for fixed fees

It's work not everyone can do

It's work not everyone can do
Need to know when to pay or sue

It's work not everyone can do
Need to know when to pay or sue
Fine number crunching

It's work not everyone can do
Need to know when to pay or sue
Fine number crunching
Legalities punching

It's work not everyone can do
Need to know when to pay or sue
Fine number crunching
Legalities punching
It's a skill mastered by the few

My poor vegetables need more rain
