Why don't you get back into bed
Why don't you get back into bed
Why don't you get back into bed
Why don't you get back into bed
Why don't you get back into bed

Why don't you get back into bed
Why don't you get back into bed

Some of Buddy Holly
The working folly
Good golly Miss Molly
and boats
Hammersmith Palais
The Bolshoi ballet
jump back in the ally
and nanny goats
????????????????????
dominate the camels
all other mammals
plus equal votes
Seeing Piccadilly
fanny smith and willy
being rather silly
and porridge oats
a bit of grin and bear it
a bit of come and share it
your welcome we can spare it
and yellow socks
To short to be haughty
to nutty to be naughty
going on forty
no electric shocks
The juice of a carrot
the smile of a parrot
a little drop of claret
anything that rocks
Elvis and scotty
the days when i ain't spotty
sitting on a potty
curing smallpox
