When the candle burns at both ends
Make sure that you're among friends

When the candle burns at both ends
Make sure that you're among friends
'Cos if you're in the middle

When the candle burns at both ends
Make sure that you're among friends
'Cos if you're in the middle
It'll be an awful fiddle

When the candle burns at both ends
Make sure that you're among friends
'Cos if you're in the middle
It'll be an awful fiddle
And there's no telling what it portends.


The lazy, hazy days of summer

The lazy, hazy days of summer
Make my brain cell even dumber

The lazy, hazy days of summer
Make my brain cell even dumber
With the sunshine i rhyme

The lazy, hazy days of summer
Make my brain cell even dumber
With the sunshine i rhyme

The lazy, hazy days of summer
Make my brain cell even dumber
With the sunshine i rhyme
And dream all the time
Like yesterday today is a stunner

I might turn all my trousers to shorts

I might turn all my trousers to shorts

Wot! All this time and no retorts?
About my sexy white knees
Which are inclined to freeze

I might turn all my trousers to shorts
Wot! All this time and no retorts?
About my sexy white knees
Which are inclined to freeze
When I set foot on the tennis courts.


It isn't good to be highly strung

It isn't good to be highly strung
Or have your foot on the bottom rung

It isn't good to be highly strung
Or have your foot on the bottom rung
Though it's tough at the top

It isn't good to be highly strung
Or have your foot on the bottom rung
Though it's tough at the top

It isn't good to be highly strung
Or have your foot on the bottom rung
Though it's tough at the top
It's a long way to drop
And your fall will be broken by dung

Or wine - at a pinch

Yes, 'tis best to be of good cheer
's easily done by drinking beer
Or wine - at a pinch
But try not to flinch
