I’m just nipping outside
I won’t be a minute
I feel like a stroll
In the fresh air
I’ll be back in a tic
No, I’m not feeling sick
I’m ok
I’ll be back straight away
In fact, before you can say
‘Cold hard boiled eggs’
COLD HARD BOILED EGGS!
How I hate them
Detest them
Phew, I could heave
From the table I’d leave
If I caught sight of just one of those
But I am rather partial
To a big plate of mash
I don’t mean that trash
No, proper squashed potatoes
With milk, cream and butter
Makes me slaver and stutter
‘Such bliss’ I do utter
When it’s brought to the table
By a wench who is able
To take my jokes with a titter
I’ll have another pint of bitter
Followed by a whisky
I’m feeling quite frisky
But it’s time once again for my stroll
You know I’ve quit smoking
Honestly, I’m not joking
Well, I might have the odd puff
But that’s generally enough.
Oh, here’s the sweet trolley
Pushed by a dolly
I’m feeling quite randy
I’ll manage a brandy
With my coffee and chocolate éclair
But first – I’m going back out there
For another spot of fresh air
So sit down and keep calm
There’s no cause for alarm
I’ll return in a jiffy
I’ll try not to smell whiffy
It’s totally legal
To go look for an eagle
In the night sky
Don’t ask me why?
Everyone does it
So don’t shake your head with a sigh
Because I’m telling you why
I’m not bats or bonkers
Didn’t that waitress have big honkers?
Where was I?
Oh yes, I digress
There’s no harm in a fag
Without one, life’s a drag
But I’m not pulling your leg when I say-
There’s nothing I hate more
Than a horrible
Cold hard boiled EGG!
