Swampy

Swampy, he went underground
He didn't get lost, he just couldn't get found
A camera in the sky, a video deep
But Swampy he was there for a week
If your heart don't beat, you won't see
What Swampy did for you and me
And yes you've got a family from Twyford Downs to Newbury
You better run to the forest
Bend with the wind
Don't say a word get safety pinned
Run to the forest
Bend with the wind
Don't say a word get safety pinned
Well Swampy he was not alone
Muppet and the girls had a mobile phone
Some down a hole
Some up a tree
And a very nice man from the BBC
If your heart don't beat, you won't see
What Swampy did for you and me
And yes you've got a family from Twyford Downs to Newbury
You better run to the forest
Bend with the wind
Don't say a word get safety pinned
Run to the forest
Bend with the wind
Don't say a word get safety pinned
Swampy he'll be doing time
If someone don't pay the fine
Five hundred pounds sets him free
To find another motorway and climb a tree
But Swampy he was there for a week
If your heart don't beat, you won't see
What Swampy did for you and me
And yes you've got a family from Twyford Downs to Newbury
You better run to the forest
Bend with the wind
Don't say a word get safety pinned
Run to the forest
Bend with the wind
Don't say a word get safety pinned
