Lyrics

Festive Road

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

An ordinary day down on Festive Road

The children will play and never will know

That when Mr Benn of No. 52

Walks in through that door

Peculiar events will ensue

The shopkeeper peers through spectacles round

As Benn wanders in and shuts out the town

The shopkeeper wears his customary grin

'Cause he knows when they go to try on his clothes

Each fantasy chosen begins...
