And in the scout hut debate still rages on

And Cathy Staniforth's milk bank opens soon
A D B E
Yonder the Deacon in misguided trousers
A D B E
Yonder the deacon in misguided trousers

VERSE 2
A D B E
Maroon is the colour of my true love's hair,
A D B E
She's got a cross stitch exhibition over there
A D B E
A spate of pan fires isn't going to happen round here
A D B E
It fills me with joy to see moshers out jogging
A D B E
It fills me with joy to see moshers out jogging
A D B E
Ain't no local groups called Fuck Your Conglomerate
A D B E
No narky young upstarts called Fuck Your Conglomerate

VERSE 3
A D B E
Rehearsals afoot for the Christmas play
A D B E
It's called Roll A Square, Arthur, and mind what you say
A D B E
It's a cricketing farce with a thickening plot
A D B E
Act one, scene one: Brenda Blethyn gets shot
A D B E
Graduated to solids disturbingly early
A D B E
Graduated to solids disturbingly early
A D B E
The Mummers, the poppers, the best of the Coppers
A D B E
Anyone can join in, so I discarded my jeans
A D B E
And played... Pantheus, King of Thebes
A D B E
And some Bloomsbury peripherals said I had the best line
A D B E
Check your sheds, check your sheds, I think I've lost my mind
