Strum
D-DU-UDU
 I fancy  I'll open a stationers, stock  quaint notepads for weekend  pagans
While  you were out at the Rollright  stones, I came  and set fire to your shed
 'Cos you probably  work at an all night garage
 You probably  work at an all  night garage
 You probably work at an all night garage with talk  radio on.
 And you curse my soul if I don't want petrol
Curse  my soul 'cos I  don't want petrol
 I only came down for a tube of Pringles, sour  cream and chives.
And  because you've got to get up off your fat arse to go and get my crisps
 And you've got to go 'round the counter and it's really inconvenient
 And when you come back you toss them into that sliding metal tray device
 Thing that separates us, and you say "one pound thirty five".
 As opposed to "that'll be one pound thirty five please sir"
 This is of course done to annoy me but has the opposite effect
 Of amusing me no end, because suddenly I've got other things to buy.
I'll  have two scotch eggs and a jar of Marmite
Two  scotch eggs and a jar  of Marmite
 Two scotch eggs and a jar of Marmite,  what sandwiches have you got?
Well  now you become quite irate and your voice becomes louder
 And you start to sound like Leadbelly at the depot.
 I got ham. I got cheese, I got chicken, I got beef
 I got tuna sweetcorn, I've got tuna sweetcorn.
I'll  have ten Kit-Kat's and a motoring atlas
Ten  Kit-Kat's and a motoring  atlas
 And a blue CD on the Hallmark label -  that's sure to be good.
 
Oh  he went to play golf of a Sunday morn just a mile  and a half from town
 His head was found on the driving range and his body  has never been found.
