Jack's wife went and burnt his favorite stew
He came home, kissed her, said: "Honey, what's new?"

Guest speaker was Mr Shaw-Twilley
I guffawed, his surname’s so silly
I slipped him a fiver

N B Shaw-Twilley is a real surname!

Cause the bucket of cream
was only a dream
But me!
I've bruising all over my face....

I was sedate once, dainty, delicate, demure, girly and feminine.
No you weren’t.
Sure, remember that day I wore the pink flowered dress?
And rolled in the mud with it? Yes, before I rolled in the mud.
