I saw him in the corner shop buying balsa-wood and glue
Asking the assistant for model-kit number two,
Then, happy as a sandman, running to his hobby-room.
High above the pretty people busy making friends
He can build aeroplanes, make little wooden trains.
That's the life he understands.
His scene is a shelf that he's made by himself
For he's very good with his hands.
There's no need to laugh when you see him
'Cos he's very good with his hands.
I took a girl from Wimbledon to watch him make a chair.
He seemed a little taken with the colour of her hair.
Then, happy as a sandman, running from his hobby-room
She goes around the smartest places telling everyone
He can build aeroplanes, make little wooden trains
That's the life he understands.
His scene is a shelf that he's made by himself
But he's very good with his hands.
