I was walking in a jungle of commonsence
Thinking where is the government of this nonsense
It makes me so concrete like the pavement
Then my favourite flavour of ice cream cement
Lent over the railings of the railing shop
And said have you brass knockers I can fit on my mop
You see the end is so hard I've nearly lost the plot
She said well you better make ends meat
Like in a Lancashire hotpot
I said you know your onions
And she said well certainly yo
I've been know to make mad dashes
At the church bell
And I've wanted to ring it
To warn of the fires of Hell
But it was Christmas Eve so I thought
I'd just wish them well
Oh the carol singers loved me they said
How are your Eaves I said I cleared the gutters last Thursday
But by now they smell
They said how do you know?
I said I've sniffed with my nose
They said well surely Mr Christmas as a Chimney sweep
You can tell
That's not the sort of thing a black beard like you
Should be doing midweek when you've left the zoo
I said I let all my monkeys and parrots alone
I didn't bar their cages nor touched my head to their hair
They whistled back sulkily a likely tune
I said I wish I could thistle
But I have lisp like a spoon
And only swallow down medicine
As soon as I'm due
It's not yet a quarter to eight and I'm feeling like a loon
