Hadrian's Wall

Lyrics

Cat’s in the garden every morning
Scratch up Dad’s flower beds
I said to myself I’d better stop playing and
Go build a wall instead.

Chorus
Hadrian, Hadrian build it build it
Keep those cats from coming in
Hadrian Hadrian build it build it
They’re jumping and they’re tipping up the rubbish bin
You gotta build that wall.

I’ve noticed that Dad’s blood pressure rises
When neighbourhood cats drop in
If I was a cat I’d just take the hint and
No longer invite myself in.

Chorus

So just as the Picts were kept out of England
In 132 AD
There’ll be hundreds of cats kept out of our garden
For the rest of this century.

Lyrics

CHORUS (twice)
Where’s your bag Dad your bag?
You left your bag Dad in Baghdad

I took a little trip on a jumbo
Down to the Persian Gulf
I drove across Iraq I drove across Iran
I haven’t seen the bag since then

CHORUS

O tell me tell me tell me where I left it
Give me just a little clue
I’ve never been so sad I’ve never felt so bad
So tell me what can I do?

CHORUS

I think I just remembered where I left it
Stuffed in the boot of the car
The bag’s in the back, the car’s in Iraq
But I’m in Australia

CHORUS (twice)

Phone Calls Daddy

Lyrics

CHORUS
Sits by the phone making lots of phone calls
Sits by the phone making lots of phone calls
Sits by the phone making lots of phone calls Daddy

When I come home after school
He’s always on the phone
At least that means my Daddy cool
Will never be alone – he

CHORUS

He loves to hear that telephone ring
You never know who it might be
It could be a big shot from overseas
But then again it could be me – he

CHORUS

He just can’t resist makin’ a call
He can’t leave the thing alone
As soon as he walks in through the door
He picks up the telephone – he

CHORUS

One day Dad got an answering machine
Which takes all the calls instead
So when he’s out doing a show
Or maybe just lying in bed – it

Sits by the phone taking lots of phone calls
Sits by the phone taking lots of phone calls
Sits by the phone taking lots of phone calls Daddy
