Music

Bought a book of sunshine. Read it in the rain.
Used to have a mobile but I left it on a train.
Put some words together, Pickled eggs and gin.
Sang ’em to a loony tune and made a granny grin.

Queuing down the Broadway, buying curried rice,  
Stood behind an alley-cat who wanted curried mice.
Saw it in the paper, only yesterday.  
Putting up a supermarket where we used to play.

Danny had a Barbie. Kylie stole the head.
Then she pulled the arms and legs off. (That’s what Danny said).
Tommy’s at the football. Wants his team to win.
If they don’t he’ll chuck his season ticket in the bin.

D.J. on the radio, had a nasty fright.  
Woken up by burglars in the middle of the night.
Fellow lives in our street - wears his sister’s clothes.
Used to keep it secret but now everybody knows.

Teacher took my iPod. Said they have a rule.
Mustn’t bring it into class or even into school.
Told me she’d return it, give it back today.
Then she put my headphones on and pressed it in to Play.

When she heard the music, toes began to tap.
After just a minute she was rocking to the rap.
Now the rules have altered. Now it’s quite OK.
When I take my iPod in she listens ev’ry day.

Our dog is a nuisance. Very, very rude.
Sicking up his breakfast while we’re trying to eat our food.  
When he’s feeling thirsty; when he wants a drink,
Takes it from the toilet bowl instead of from the sink.

Barks at all the neighbours; bites them on the rear.
When I’m on the telephone he barks and I can’t hear.
This is what my friends say, "What can you expect?
You’re the one who trained him so he never learned respect!"

Father goes bananas, Mother starts to fret,  
When I watch 'Big Brother'on our television set.
Father’s yelling, "Leave it!" Mum says, "Time for bed".
I would rather stay and watch celebrities instead.

I sneak down much later. Keep the volume low.
When my mother catches me it gets her screaming "NO!"
Father says, "I’ll junk it. Just you wait and see!"
I go, "Pull the other one, you watch it more than me!".
