[00:02.13] | Songs Title:in the middle of the night |
[00:05.12] | |
[00:10.81] | Nice man george, newsagent on the corner, |
[00:13.95] | Not very rich, but never any poorer, |
[00:17.31] | Jaunty old george, a happy sixty-three, |
[00:20.55] | Not very tall, but healthier than me. |
[00:24.15] | He whistles timeless tunes as he saunters down the street, |
[00:27.51] | Springs his in legs and elastic in his feet. |
[00:30.46] | But in the middle of the night, |
[00:34.05] | He steals through your garden, |
[00:37.23] | Gives your hosiery a fright, |
[00:41.05] | And doesnt say pardon. |
[00:44.36] | As soft as a breeze, |
[00:47.35] | With an arm full of underwear, |
[00:51.41] | On his hands and knees, |
[00:53.91] | |
[00:54.78] | Dreams about the knicker scare. |
[00:58.08] | Hello there george, newsagent on the corner, |
[01:01.41] | Hows the old car, yes the climates getting warmer, |
[01:04.72] | Chatty old george as you get your morning paper, |
[01:07.90] | Read about the knicker thief, underwear taker. |
[01:11.15] | Bids you good day, as you wander out the door, |
[01:14.64] | Never closes early, always cleans the floor. |
[01:17.69] | But when darkness hits the town, |
[01:20.18] | |
[01:20.81] | And theres washing on your line, |
[01:23.70] | |
[01:24.57] | Get your knickers down, |
[01:27.01] | |
[01:27.82] | Before the dreaded sign. |
[01:30.20] | |
[01:30.82] | When the clock strikes eight, |
[01:34.10] | And youre snuggled up in bed, |
[01:37.31] | Hell be at the garden gate, |
[01:40.74] | Filling underwear with dread. |
[01:43.92] | |
[01:44.92] | Nice man george, newsagent on the corner, |
[01:48.20] | He was closed today, maybe gone to mow the lawn, |
[01:50.76] | I had to go further down the road to get me current bun, |
[01:54.83] | Hello - isnt that george on page one ? |
[01:58.04] | No it couldnt be, but yes it is, |
[02:01.41] | Difficult to see from these photofits. |
[02:04.17] | But they are after him, |
[02:06.89] | |
[02:07.70] | Of that you can be sure, |
[02:11.07] | Theyve called him on the phone, |
[02:13.88] | |
[02:14.50] | Theyve knocked on his door. |
[02:17.24] | |
[02:17.81] | A-but hes gone away, |
[02:20.77] | Gone to stay with some mates, |
[02:24.07] | |
[02:24.63] | He got the papers early, |
[02:27.92] | And saw his own face. |
