This little place I live in,
br>
Is short of nothing that it's got.
br>
You can do your daily business,
br>
Hardly moving from the spot.
First there's the doctors surgery,
br>
To go to when you're ill.
br>
Just cross the road to the chemist,
br>
With the prescription for your pill.
If after taking all the medicine,
br>
You find you're getting worse,
br>
Just pop down to the clinic,
br>
And there you'll see the nurse.
If after all the treatment,
br>
You find that you are dead,
br>
Just pop to see John Francis,
br>
You need the undertaker now instead.
Now to order a nice big wreath,
br>
Next door to 'Pam the flower',
br>
Mary and her staff will work like mad,
br>
And have it ready in an hour.
While you wait - pop into Smiths',
br>
There's a selection of sympathy cards.
br>
Not bad your funeral's well under way,
br>
And you've only moved ten yards.
Next stop must be 'Gracies',
br>
Where you can buy your mourning clothes.
br>
But hope it isn't Wednesday,
br>
For at 1 o'clock they close.
Pork pies - it's Williams the bakers,
br>
Sausage rolls and a nice big cake.
br>
They'll even throw in some pickle,
br>
And goodies for the wake.
Next but last, 'Cheers' off licence,
br>
Where you can buy the wine and beer.
br>
'Though get coffee for Aunty Mary,
br>
'Cos alcohol makes her queer.
The Midland Bank the final stop,
br>
And there you'll find the Will.
br>
Sorry there's not a lot to leave,
br>
Just enough to pay this bill.
