OUR FAVOURITE THINGS (Steve Belsey, Tony Goodenough, Phil Jarrett) Sheep in galoshes and nuns in black leather Up on the chandelier, swinging together Nubile young housemaids, all tied up with string Those are a few of our favourite things. High heels and short skirts, suspenders and stockings Rubberwear catalogue, really quite shocking Gymnast in gymslips, the though of it brings A temperature rise, and a few other things... When the Crew sings, and your ears ring And it drives you mad Just try to remember our favourite things And then it won't seem so bad. Nudge, nudge, nudge, wink, wink, wink Nudge, nudge, nudge, wink, wink, wink. Ladies in G-strings and tarts in white satin Whips, chains and handcuffs, stilettoes quite Latin Nice lady wrestlers in t-shirts that cling Those are a few of our favourite things. Small furry animals, wild and exciting Books in the white van so strangely inviting To which all the singers so avidly cling Far too int'resting to put in the bin. When the Crew sings, and your ears ring And it drives you mad Just try to remember our favourite things And then it won't seem so bad. Nudge, nudge, nudge, wink, wink, wink Nudge, nudge, nudge, wink, wink, wink. each Tuesday night, midst the masons and nurses In a small pokey back room, the group it rehearses Over and over familiar ground Tryin' to achieve a spontaneous sound. Belsey and Money and Spindlow and Jarrett Chris Roche and Rita and Tony and parrot Dominic Magog and other strange things That's what you get when the Shanty Crew sings. hen the crew sings, and your ears ring And it drives you mad Just try to remember our favourite things And then it won't seem so bad.
