LYRICS
Our parlour wanted papering,
and Pa said it was a waste to call a paper-hanger in
And so he made some paste
He bought some rolls of paper,
And a ladder
And a brush
And with my mummy’s nightgown on,
at it he made a rush!
When father painted the parlour
You couldn’t see him for paste
Dabbing here, dabbing it there
Paste and paper everywhere
Mother stuck to the ceiling
Children stuck to the floor
Well I never seen such a blooming’ family so stuck up before!
Soon dad fell down the stairs
And dropped his paper-hanger’s can
on little Henrietta sitting there with her young man
The paste stuck them together
As we thought it would be for life,
we had to fetch the parson in
To make them man and wife
When father painted the parlour
You couldn’t see him for paste
Dabbing here, dabbing it there
Paste and paper everywhere
Mother stuck to the ceiling
Children stuck to the floor
Well I never seen such a blooming’ family so stuck up before!
We’re never gonna move away from that house anymore
For father’s gone stuck the chairs and tables to the floor
We can’t find our piano-
though its broad and rather tall:
We think its behind the paper that Pa stuck on the wall!
When father painted the parlour
You couldn’t see him for paste
Dabbing here, dabbing it there
Paste and paper everywhere
Mother was stuck to the ceiling
Children stuck to the floor
I never seen such a blooming’ family so stuck up before!
Now father’s sticking’ in the pub
through a-treadin’ in the paste
And all the family’s so upset
That they’ve all gone pasty-faced
Well Pa says now that Ma has spread the news fro north to south
He wishes that he’d dropped a blob of paste in mother’s mouth!
When father painted the parlour
You couldn’t see him for paste
Dabbing here, dabbing it there
Paste and paper everywhere
Mother was stuck to the ceiling
Children stuck to the floor
Well I never seen such a blooming’ family so stuck up before!

LYRICS
The slow and steady plod
Up stony hill I gently trod,
So silently, i climbed to see the view
Of green and blue
The meadows and the sky
And every painted dragonfly
Its like a dream of blue and green and blue
If dreams came true
I go in slo-mo
I go solo
You say “No way!”
“No way Jose!”
The world may pass you by
Or poke a needle in your eye
Its just a dream come true
Of green and blue
And so are you

LYRICS
Its a new day dawning
The same as all the rest
There’s a blue pain forming
In my cranium and chest….
Why?
My heart’s at the bottom of a mountain
My brain’s at the bottom of a wishing well
Yeah,
My heart’s at the bottom of a mountain
My brain’s at the bottom of a wishing well
Ooooooooh
Better listen to whistle of the blue trains
Blue trains,blue trains,
Blue trains……
My heart’s at the bottom of a mountain
My brain’s at the bottom of a wishing well
Yeah,
My heart’s at the bottom of a mountain
My brain’s at the bottom of a wishing well
Ooooooooh
Better listen to whistle of the blue trains
Blue trains,blue trains,
Blue trains……

LYRICS
“Huckleberry Finn” starts with Huckleberry Finn alone
Then he meets a friend called Tom
Then the story ends-“the End’
It’s a book we all know but have not read
We have not read that book by Mark Twain
Huckleberry Finn- or ‘Huck Finn’-
was American- like Twain, an American,
He came from America
Somewhere in the U/ In the U. S. A./ S.A/ S.A/ S.A/ S.A./S.A/
A./ A./ A./ A/ A./ A?
The middle of the book is very exciting-
It shifts in literary style……
But nothing seems to happen….
As nothing does, for quite a while.
Arghhhhhhhh!
Then we go back….
