Happy As Annie

On September 3rd 2003
I was softly touched by a warm summer breeze
There were blue tits flocking and swerving
My accuracy is quite unnerving
I stole into a burnt, orange field
Which once was green, but lost its zeal
To prance and dance and sing around
Which is not condoned in the centre of town
Children please beware!
I'm choked with fear
Oh children please beware!
I'm choked with fear
(repeat)
And as I crunched those crispy leaves
I walked towards a shaded tree
To find a young girl lying there
Drifting off without a care
Her face was covered by a straw hat
'Happy as Larry' and all of that
When I shouted out to wake her up
She was skipping school in the burning hot
Children please beware!
I'm choked with fear
Oh children please beware!
I'm choked with fear
(repeat)
And as I tried to get her to speak
I realised that she was not asleep
I moved her hat to find that her face was grey
Her knickers wrapped around her ankles
It's not funny!
Children please beware!
I'm choked with fear
Oh children please beware!
I'm choked with fear
(repeat)
Swamped with fear...
Drown in fear...
