VERSATILE VERSE 3

There's nothing like a meal out with friends,
But Boris says this is where it ends.

So roll on next year when the vaccine is here

Make sure you take a few cool beers with you
and a bottle of wine for the rest of the crew

There's nothing like a meal out with friends

I'll travel quite far for a really good curry
Mr Hussien's quite busy, so you'd better hurry

Make sure you take a few cool beers with you

A twist in his recipe for Chicken Madra
that sounds delicious, please give his address

I'll travel quite far for a really good curry

I’ve always been partial to nouvelle cuisine
There's a great new place run by Mr Hussein

A twist in his recipe for Chicken Madras

So we booked into the Hilton hotel
the a la carte and their very best Moscatel

I’ve always been partial to nouvelle cuisine

We climbed out of the window and ran like mad
Right through the desert and into Baghdad.

So we booked into the Hilton hotel

Lo and behold, they followed us there
we were so frightened, Oh what a scare!

We climbed out of the window and ran like mad

We got chased by lions and hippos too
We tried to escape, ran to the loo

Lo and behold, they followed us there

Crocs and wildebeest in the Serengeti
When I went there with my friend Betty.

We got chased by lions and hippos too

My last house looked like a Safari park
With all wild animals - wot a lark!

I like to be a bit adventurous with colour schemes
I also like wallpaper with various themes

My last house looked like a Safari park

While I prefer to decorate the house
when I'm looking up ideas I'm quiet as a mouse

I like to be a bit adventurous with colour schemes

It's dh who provides most meals of interest
Cuisine he produces from the far East to West

While I prefer to decorate the house

The kitchen is my place of work
to tell the truth I usually shirk

It's dh who provides most meals of interest

It started a lifelong love of books
These days though, it's more about cooks

The kitchen is my place of work

Aesop's fables is an exception, I agree
I was read them at my mother's knee

It started a lifelong love of books

Tragic family, it all ends badly
Greek myths I avoid, really, quite gladly.

Aesop's fables is an exception, I agree

I’ll even audition to be one of the extras
In the Greek tragedy about Clytemnestra's

Tragic family, it all ends badly

But I can sing and I can dance
I’m ready to take my chance

I’ll even audition to be one of the extras

I've got the memory of a tiny gnat
No speeches stay beneath my hat

But I can sing and I can dance

I'm only looking for a walk on part
So I don't have lines to learn off by heart.

I've got the memory of a tiny gnat

This 'resting' lark is rather exhausting
all those auditions are rather daunting

I'm only looking for a walk on part

Acting jobs are hard to come by
With every rejection I heave a sigh

This 'resting' lark is rather exhausting

I'm a good actress, my Mum always said
But she wished I had a good brain instead !!
