lyrics

Pritchard Street

(E.Frencham)

Music drifts down Pritchard Street
Too much to drink and more to eat
As one by one we smile and share
With all the friendly sould we meet
Some stand tall and talk out loud
Of all the things that make them proud
And some sit quiet within the crowd
And listen to it all

As someone laughs, though he’s heard that one before
Someone sings ’til the morning sun slips underneath the door

Mary, Mary please be wary
That cat can be contrary
Soon he curls and purrs and dreams
Of goldfish pie and fried canary
Someone’s on the kitchen floor
Been there for an hour or more
Makes it hard to close the door
And suddenly he wakes

Jack be nimble, Jack be quick
But drinks enough to make him sick
Just tripped over my guitar
And broke his housemate’s candlestick
Never have you seen such rage
Worthy of a theatre stage
But time is quick to turn the page
And everyone forgets

This room holds a quiet scene
Two will talk and sip their tea
While that room’s singing ‘Danny Boy’
In twenty-six part harmony
Jack and Jill are in the street
Heart’s aglow with longing sweet
Lips seems good enough to eat
And neither of them hear
