Lyric sheets: Sir Elton Takes Stock
Enough to worm the IIamas
in your stable
Or have Lord Linley knock
you up a table
Enough to buy the bigger
sort of Bentley
Assured that all antiques
will travel gently
Enough to hire an Admirable
Crichton
To help a knight alighting
from his phaeton
A pension to remunerate
your mater
For sterling service with
perambulator
A phone in any colour
that you feel
(Not taking up the Friends
and Family deal)
But not enough the
Jeremiah said
To keep your books from edging
to the red
And if this is beyond your comprehension
You realise that it
may affect
your pension?
