A dissertation
on the divine delights of diversity. There is more than one reason for
going to Thornaby.
Beautiful flows
the Tees
From Middlesborough down to the sea
They'll erect a statue of me
In Thornaby
Faith I met
Caligula
Now I can't leave him alone
In Rome do as Rome does
Do as Rome does when in Rome
You can court your D'Artagnans
Woo them with pimpernels
But don't mess with Caligula
If you can't stand the smell
Hand wrought
in delicate clay
On the chesterfield sofa he lay
Engrossed in a leatherbound book
Reading Shelly and Rupert Brooke
The most logical thing I could do
Was to give to Caesar his due
And quoting Seneca he
All my due gave me
As the cricketers
proffer their bats
To the ladies in the big straw hats
The clink of bottles and coins
Sounds a knell as battle is joined
Says I 'tis never a match
To daisy cutters despatch
All God's in a lie quoth he
And a fast ball gave me

Chorus F# A E F#
Ending F#E
