Hey Mr. Auden have you heard the news? |
|
Seems they found a cure for your Roman wall blues |
|
Says on the tablets that they sent back home |
|
They got dates, wine and olives direct from Rome |
|
They got baths and medicines I've been told |
|
To cure your lice and care for your cold |
|
And if your eyes are sore for rain or mist |
|
You can always sign up to the old sick list |
|
Downtown Corbridge on a Saturday night |
|
Find a local lassie to treat you right |
|
So hey Mr. Auden let me put you straight |
|
Did a little digging, bring you up to date |
|
Well a backwater it may be |
|
But you got to brush up on that history |
