When I Am Eighteen. When I am eighteen I'll paint my nose green And sing all night in the park I'll bury my kite And I'll pick a fight With an imitation shark When I'm twenty nine I'll wear a big sign Made of straw and eels and grunge I'll juggle with crumpets I'll play seven trumpets and I'll clean my teeth with a sponge When I'm forty two I'll fly a kazoo From the top of a mountain peak I'll balance a hose On the end of my nose And I won't have a wash for a week When I'm old as the hills I'll look back on the thrills That I had in my life and tell tales Of the terrible jokes That I played with egg yolks and a small suitcase full of nails Hollywood. Hollywood stars today go through life buying furniture shops worm charming rolling pin throwing snail racing iron ball throwing porridge-making toe wrestling sedan chair carrying Don't wash, then sleep on Strawberry and fresh smoked trout for a week

Wee Willie Winkie. Wee Willie Winkie |
Life is like a cherry
Sweet, with a hard stone inside
Life is a damp patch on the carpet
That mum tries to hide
Life is like a door that is locked -
When you find the key you can enter the garden
Life is a bar of lemming-scented soap
Life is the name of the game
and I want to play the game with you.
