"Punch And Judy" lyrics - ROY HARPER

She who would cast the first stone was among him
But he wouldn't come out to play
The green house was broken the flowers gone potty
Her mother was coming to stay

Oh what a wonderful evening, what a wonderful day
Here on the edge of tranquillity wondering which way

He who would eek a week out on a piece of toast
Sank in the arms of his chair
The football was on the Discovery channel
Her brains were on fire in the air

Oh what a wonderful evening, oh what a beautiful day
Here on the edge of tranquillity wondering which way

Fate has brought us, Geoffrey Chaucer, ducking stools and flying saucers
Flying saucers, flying saucers

He preferred roundabouts, tiptoe and reason
Her swings were much faster than soon
He did some blinking and slinking and drinking
She flew apart on the moon

Oh what a wonderful evening, what a beautiful day
Here on the edge of tranquillity wondering which way

They lived in a higgledy-piggledy universe
Having the time of their life
She was the woman he'd taken for better worse
He'd had a number of wives

Oh what a wonderful evening, what a beautiful day
Here on the edge of tranquillity wondering which way

Fate has brought us, Geoffrey Chaucer, ducking stools, flying saucers
Flying saucers, flying saucers...
