How naff is that, eh?
Ken Dodd on a T-shirt wearing
A kiss-me-quick-hat.

Is a sign of a coarse lass

Who is short of cash..

Who is short of cash?
Why, it is me, said she with
a frown on her brow.

A frown on her brow
Is a sign of her stomach ache
To be cured with the cabbage.

Cured with the cabbage,
Treated with the turnips and
Healed with honey - mmmm!

Healed with honey-mmmm!

Ambrosia and nectar.

Fresh as morning dew.

An inaudible dog whisle blows
Only a dog smiles at me.

satt_fs --The first line should have 5 syllables, the second line 7 syllables, and the last line 5 syllables.

"Only a dog smiles at me" has 7 syllables, so I'll shorten it to 5.

A dog smiles at me
And that really makes my day
I brought happiness

I brought happiness

To travellers passing through

They all said "Thank you".

They all said 'Thank you'
Because they were well brought up
By their mums and dads.

By their mums and dads

They were delivered to us

Without them asking.

Without them asking
Precious secrets were divined
From darkness revealed

From darkness revealed,
The ghostly outline of the
Human sacrifice.

Human sacrifice
Is outlawed now, thank goodness
I'd be first to go

I'd be first to go

Then firefly would be saved

I could do no less.

Said the jailer, twirling the
Keys round in his hand.

Keys round in HER hand.

She likes round things in her hand,

Like shiny pound coins.

Like shiny pound coins
The satellites bobbed and winked
On the horizon.

On the horizon

Slowly steaming into view

A big fat tanker.

A big fat tanker
And a tiny slender yacht
Sailing together.
