Please enter, What is with your 'box of toys' (noise)? Accusations and slander, 'Get on with it, lad.' In the streets of London, Spreading your propaganda, 'Days a-dawning' (morning). One's been saying one has nothing to offer, 'Dustbin lids,' 'early hours.' Making a mess, 'in and out' (snout). The good came together to collect the flowers, 'Penny-come-quick,' trampling on the other on your way to the bank. Get back with your cobblers, sipping on your mother's 'Satin and silk' (milk). We can speak to whoever, whenever, however, 'Give and take,' dependent on the other. Stay away from one's own 'lion's lair' (chair), 'Lumps of Ice' (advice), 'Lumps of school' (fool). Get out in the real world to toughen you up, son. Stop taking everything to heart, there is always tomorrow, 'Yet to be'... (free), 'cop a flower pot,' 'cop it hot,' so take heed. Stop believing delusions from a broken foundation. We experience now! 'Mozzle and brocha' (on the knocker), 'collar and cuff' (puff), (Dress to kill), (stay with your fellow man), Stick to the plan... It's deep within ya! Cockney rhyming slang:)
