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
