Danny's Alphabet

A is for apple, all lovely and ripe
B is for bicycle, sometimes called bike
C is for catapult, and caught by the fuzz
D is for dinosaur, no longer with us
E is for electric, quite shocking, I know
F is for ferry, a boat whioch comes and goes
G is for gentleman, with slippers and a pipe
H is for horseshoe, of course, and for hike
I is for ignoring what's coming ahead
And J is for jollity, like Steve in his bed
K is for koala, all trains lost in snow
And L is for Manchester, where we had the show
M is for washing, hung out on a cliff
And N is for party, alone in a lift
O is the colour of august in spring
And P is the answer the telephone sings
Like Q, in fact, dirty, and slouched on a leaf
Before R turns the ignition for V, and for teeth
S if for farmer, and orange, and boots
And T is the n-oise an owl can resist
U walks like this, for one reason alone
V is the number of kings in Africa
W is for Nancy, at teatime she sings
X is for balloon race
Y is dead
Z
Kettle
Mouse
Wind
Night ...

Television

Television - it ain't so bad
Watch it for a little while, then turn it off
If you're feeling uninspired, have it on all day
You don't have to pay attention to get the general gist
Television - goes on all through the night
So if you're not all that tired, it's something to do
Television - it ain't so bad
Gil Scott-Heron doesn't like it, but maybe he should

Television - sometimes funny or sad
Some of it goes on a bit, and sometimes you want more
You can eat your dinner, watching television
Or drink a cup of tea, or have a beer and crisps
Television - used to be black and white
Now it's mostly colour, though, especially in the evening

Television - it ain't so bad
Maybe if Gil Scott-Heron had watched a bit more, 
He wouldn't be the useless junkie he is today.

Terry's fork

Terry's got a fork in his pocket
He's heard about what you said
Terry's got the hump
And when Terry's got the hump
You'd better keep your head down

Terry's been comin' round my house
Terry's not a happy man
He had his hand in his pocket all the time he was there
You'd better keep your head down

I saw him in the pub last night
Good job you wasn't there
He had his fork out
He was waving it about
You'd better keep your head down

Terry's a decent geezer
He knows his right from wrong
But when he's had a little speed and a couple of beers
You'd better keep your head down

Finest Sheffield steel, mind ...
