New song unrecorded as yet:-

Egbert the Seal

Chorus
Egbert is a seal   (YODEL-AY-EEE!)
He can't play guitar (DIDDLEY -BOM!)
He got nasty little flappy little flippers, stickin' out his body
Instead of arms
Egbert lies on the rocks - all day
All the other seals have crapped on
And he wishes and he wishes, and he wishes that he was Eric Clapton.

Every now and then, (YODEL-AY-EEE!)
Egbert goes for a swim (DIDDLEY -BOM!)
Then he thinks about Eric Clapton
How he wishes that he was him!
Egbert dives down deeper
Egbert feels such a failure!
And he wishes, and he wishes, and he wishes, that he could
Play that riff from Layla

repeat chorus

Egbert tells all the other seals
About his secret wish (YODEL-AY-EEE!)
They all say, 'Cheer up Egbert! Come on lad! Eat a couple of fish'
(DIDDLEY -BOM!)
So Egbert devours
Some really quite excellent cod
But he just can't help thinkin'
'It really is a bit of a sod'.

Repeat chorus
