On Preston platform
Do your soft shoe shuffle dance
Brush away the cigarette ash
That's falling down your pants
And then you sadly wonder
Does the nurse treat your old man
The way she should?
She made you a tea
Asked for your autograph
What a laugh
ย
As I did walk by Hampstead Fair
I came upon Mother Goose
So I turned her loose
She was screaming
And a foreign student said to me
"Was it really true
There are elephants and lions, too
In Picadilly Circus?"
Walked down by the bathing pond
To try and catch some sun
Must have been a hundred school girls
Sobbing into handkerchiefs as one
I don't believe they knew, I was a school boy, yeah
And a bearded lady said to me
If you start your raving and your misbehaving
You'll be sorry, yeah
And the chicken-fancier came to play
With his long red beard
And his sister's weird
She drives a lorry
