  Ab                    Eb 
A doyen of topiary once told me 
     Ab                              Eb 
That one day he would like to grow a maze 
   Ab                              Eb 
It seemed to be quite logical that this should be his wish 
         Ab                             Eb 
And with that we both went our separate ways.

They said you died at seven due to something in your head 
  C                              Am 
I asked the sister why it wasn't someone else instead 
  C                               Am

'Why is Rod Hull alive ' and getting paid as well?� 

Ab                               Eb 
Heard a Palace spokesman mention Sarah 
Ab                                        Eb 
Said she'd known the groins of Jacques Laffite 
      Ab                             Eb 
She's well prepared to be a standard bearer 
   Ab                          Eb 
As pure as unproverbial driven sleet. 

C                             Am 
Halfway up the Wrekin with an empty flask of tea 
  C                              Am 
A fog descends and takes away my visibility 
    C                              Am 
Yet in this Helen Keller state I'd still quite like to know 
            G                G7 
'Why is Rod Hull alive ' and getting paid as well?� 

      Am                E                   Am              E 
And I wonder if they'll bring back National Service and the birch 
      Am           E                  Am                         G        B E (x8) 
And I wonder but I doubt if they will ever bring back the Watney Cup.
