Hadn't been there a minute or two when there's an 'orrible shout Mother-in-law's fell into the sea And there she's splashing about. She cries "Help I canna swim!" Tiddy fal la tiddy fal lay. I said, "Nows the time to learn". Tiddy fal la tiddy fal lay. The wife she said, "You hound. Are you ganna watch her drown?" I said, "No I'll shut me eyes". Tiddy fal la tiddy fal lay.

I expect it'll be raining anyway and we can all put our bathers on and sit in the deckchairs with towels draped over our legs. Who remembers doing that then when you were little? And we were only allowed half an hour in the funfair before we had to get the bus back home, cos that was all we could afford. Then somebody was always sick on the bus-too much candyfloss! Wonderful memories..... |
