Always sure to do a good turn
Though not having money to burn
A favour for free

There was a young guy from Dunoon
Who played the drums with a spoon
The neighbours complained

There was a young guy from Dunoon
Who played the drums with a spoon
The neighbours complained
But he never explained

There was a young guy from Dunoon
Who played the drums with a spoon
The neighbours complained
But he never explained
Why the racket made everyone swoon.

That pedant from Perth always says
A mixed metaphor never pays
Periods and commas
And similar horrors
Will never help you mend your ways

But how can I make my speech better?

But how can I make my speech better?
Must I follow rules to the letter?

Jangran99 Mon 16-Nov-20 00:21:59

But how can I make my speech better?
Must I follow rules to the letter?
Well I pay no heed

But how can I make my speech better?
Must I follow rules to the letter?
Well I pay no heed
To grammar, but need

But how can I make my speech better?
Must I follow rules to the letter?
Well I pay no heed
To grammar, but need
To be more of a tough go-getter

I'd like to deal in stocks and shares

And make some sense of bulls and bears

And make some sense of bulls and bears
But with my pittance

I'd like to deal in stocks and shares
And make some sense of bulls and bears
But with my pittance
A small remittance

I'd like to deal in stocks and shares
And make some sense of bulls and bears
But with my pittance
A small remittance
I can't even afford my bus fares

For I once picked up
A large silver cup

I hope car boot sales start again
It's nice to look round now and then
For I once picked up
A large silver cup
For not more than a few pence

For a sum so high

I took it to auction, lo and behold
To my amazement it was sold
For a sum so high
That I can now buy
Myself a sparkling ring of gold
