Hello Mother, Hello Father versuri

Hello Mother, Hello Father lyrics by The Barron Knights

Spoken intro
I’m gonna read you an extract from a letter. Now this letter was sent to the palace from His Royal Highness Prince Charles when he was having a wonderful time abroad

Charles
Hello Mother, hello father
Life for me is getting harder
All the polo and the singing
And you want me to be king when you stop reigning

Tell you something
It won’t suit me
Acting proper and aloofy
Pomp and splendour
You can lump it
I would rather be in Aussie chasing crumpet
(„Good lad”)

I’ll get married when I’m ready
I’m not into going steady
So dear Mother, please don’t mix it
I’ll write a royal note to Jim’ll Fix It
(„Hows about that!” – Jimmy Savile voice)

Windsor Castle full of history, full of antiques, full of mystery
There’s a secret only I know
It was built in 1520 out of Lego

Not the throne, oh Mother Father, not the throne
You know I’d rather sail my yacht across the seven seas
The crew could be The Three Degrees
(„Cor!”)

Not the throne, I’d really hate to let you down
Cos I’d feel silly in the crown
I’ve got another plan
I’ll model clothes for Action Man

Dearest Mother
How’s my sister?
How’s her horses?
And how’s her blister?
How’s my brother, handsome Andy?
Does he still get three parts cut on half a shandy?
(„Poor gentleman”)

Wait a minute
If they crown me
I could throw the biggest party
Bring my girlfriends
Now that sounds better
So Mother, Father kindly disregard this letter
