(to the tune of A Whiter Shade of Pale)

Sing like no-one is listening. A Whiter Shade Of Pale – Instrumental version – YouTube

We had ice cream with our mango
Ate apples to the core
I was eating prawns in aspic  
But I had to stop at four
She said ‘More?’ but I said ‘Nada’               
And pushed away the tray
I was grateful for the double sink
We’d wash another day

So that is how I chase her
With home-made ginger ale
Not for her a plain old toastie
Or a salad full of kale

She said ‘I’ll put some peas on,
I need the nectar of the bee.’
So I rummaged through my pantry then
To see what I could see
She drew the pastel curtains
While I acted as the host
And meanwhile I was hoping
She’d not seen my pigeon toes

So that is how I chase her
With home-made ginger ale
Not for her a plain old toastie
Or a salad full of kale
