 ]
Twice  upon a time in the valley of tears
 An auctioneer  is biding for a box of fading years
 And the elephants  are dancing on the graves of squearling mice
Anyone  for tennis wouldn't  that be nice.
 And the ice-creams  are all melting on the streets of bloody beer,
 While the beggars  stain the pavements with florescent Christmas cheer
 And the Bentley  driving guru is putting up his price
Anyone  for tennis wouldn't  that be nice.
 And the prophets  in the boutiques  give out messages  of hope
 
 With jingle bells and fairy tales and blind colliding scopes
 and you can tell  they're all the same underneath the pretty lights
Anyone  for tennis wouldn't  that be nice.
 The yellow  Buddhist monk  is burning brightly  at the zoo
 
 You can bring a bowl of rice and then a glass of water too,
 and fate is setting  up the chess-board while death rolls out the dice
Anyone  for tennis wouldn't  that be nice.
