Oodelay Yoodelay
Sitting in a tree
Nobody comes to visit me
Dibble Dabble in the babbling brook
Got stuck on a fishermans hook
Can't find it
Confound it
Well there's no way around it
I'm lost and I'm grounded
And I hope I haven't ruined this
The map must have been upside down
Cos this is the third time we've turned in to this town
And the weather's fair but you don't care
With the windows right up
And there's no fresh air in this car
In this car
Dibble Dabble right back to the well
Sprain more than (?)
But, what the hell
Dibble Dabble in the beckoning blue
But I can't love you
Can't find it
Confound it
Well there's no way around it
I'm lost and I'm grounded
And I hope you haven't ruined this
Mmm it was going to be a big deal
Capri suns and sausage rolls
And Wagon Wheels
And a cup a soup
An extra scoop
And a hula hoop on every finger
In this car
In this car
