Neville Thumbcatch

Lyrics

Neville Thumbcatch worked daily at the mill And at weekends, his allotment by the hill He sank his soul in mother nature's bower Growing some radishes and the occasional flower Ahh-ahh-ahh, ahh-ahh-ahh Poor Mrs. Thumbcatch meanwhile waited back at home Her only comfort was an alabaster gnome Her husband lost sight of the wood amongst the trees He was a man of nature who forgot his birds and bees Neville Thumbcatch (You) Neville Thumbcatch (You) The best things in life are free so just forget the cost Enjoy your pride and you won't miss just what you've lost So Mrs. Thumbcatch left as soon as she was able Shе took the dog, the cat and the budgiе they called Mabel She said at last her future now was free from doubts With George the milkman she'd have kids, not brussels sprouts Ahh-ahh-ahh, ahh-ahh-ahh Now his allotment is a place that's never seen Because he has to tidy up and cook, and clean He doesn't mind the fact he's got holes in his socks So I've no wife, at least I have a window box Neville Thumbcatch (You) Neville Thumbcatch (You) The best things in life are free so just forget the cost Enjoy your pride and you won't miss just what you've lost Neville Thumbcatch (You) Neville Thumbcatch (You) Neville Thumbcatch (You) Neville Thumbcatch (You) Neville Thumbcatch (You) Neville Thumbcatch (You)...
