Missing In Action
Now little Jenny's favourite cardigan is missing one of these
It fell off just the other day and simply disappeared
We turned the house upside down everyone was looking
The cushions of the three piece suite were heaped into a pile
While Uncle Jack was on his knees searching high and low
Mum got out the Hoover and ran it into Auntie Flo, who hopped around the sitting
room making funny noises
The dog was heading for the door but Dad he dived and caught him and
once old Zak was upside down and nothing inside rattled was allowed to leave the scene
The next stop was the fire brigade but we didn't have a cat or a garden with a tree
Now we couldn't find the shiny little blighter, so we had a cup of tea
We tried to find another one just like the one that's lost but that is such a trying task
there's never two the same
Mum finally found a button but it never matched the rest and Jenny's pretty cardigan
was never seen again
