That Abone day he would like to grow a Ebmaze
It Abseemed to be quite logical that Ebthis should be his wish
And with Abthat we both went our separate Ebways.
They Csaid you died at seven due to Amsomething in your head
I Casked the sister why it wasn’t Amsomeone else instead
ToCnight I’ll cry myself a bath of Amtears and ask the world

“Why is Rod Hull alive – and getting paid as well?”
AbHeard a Palace spokesman mention EbSarah
AbSaid she’d known the groins of Jacques LafEbfite
She’s Abwell prepared to be a standard Ebbearer
As Abpure as unproverbial driven Ebsleet.
CHalfway up the Wrekin with an Amempty flask of tea
A Cfog descends and takes away my Amvisibility
Yet Cin this Helen Keller state I’d Amstill quite like to know
“Why is Rod GHull alive – and G7getting paid as well?”
And I Amwonder if they’ll Ebring back National AmService and the Ebirch
                 Am                    E                           Am          G   B   E(x8)
And I wonder but I doubt if they will ever bring back the Watney Cup.
