Slow news day
Where nothing seemed to happen anyway
Well it's a slow news day
We'd laugh if once something went our way
On this slow news day
The chipmunk on the snowball had learned to ride the bumps
A camel in Arabia was discovered with three humps
A survey says the working classes tend to take their lumps
Better than the rich they say
On this slow news day
Well it's a slow news day
The cat stuck up the tree got rescued yay
Slow news day
We waited for the spectacle, some terror, strife or pain
We waited for someone that we could blame
We waited till the evening hours but nothing really came
So we just fell in love over again
Well it's a slow news day
Some people lost in Soho asked the way
On this slow news day
Well it's a slow news day
Even the crazy radical stayed away
Let's go and plant the garden
Before our arteries harden
Let's walk the leafy lane
Happy once again
Before they come and take us both away
Let's walk the leafy lane
Happy once again
Don't let them come and take us both away
On this slow news day
Slow news day
Slow news
