A Little Knowledge
A Little Knowledge
My son just started big school and now he knows it all
He says that all the laws are made by bloody Sid E. Hall
We frowned at his bad language and that made him assure us
He’ll speak a lot more better with a book by Theo Saurus
But one surprise he got at school, the first day he went there
TV was invented by a chap named Yogi Bear
He’s not quite sure what happened to make Louis Armstrong Kneel
But one small Schweppes for man seems a pretty lousy deal
He had a suit with lots of space, his eagle landed steady
It seems he might have taken off the cape of Ken and Eddy
A Vulcan interruption killed a town back in the day
They blamed it on an Englishman... but they made that Pom pay
There’s a film about a fish and all the cash it swallers
So my son’s doing a project on A fish full of dollars
He says, ‘CDs and downloads should all be thrown away,
don’t you oldies know that music’s gone vinyl today?’
I guess my son is full of it but that’s made me recall
There was a time when I was young and I too knew it all
