Rod Hull Is Alive Why

  Ab                    Eb
A doyen of topiary once told me
     Ab                            
That one day he would like to grow 
  Eb
a maze
   Ab                              
It seemed to be quite logical that 
Eb
this should be his wish
         Ab                   
And with that we both went our 
          Eb
separate ways.

They said you died at seven due to 
Am
something in your head
  C                              
I asked the sister why it wasn’t 
Am
someone else instead
  C

Am
tears and ask the world

“Why is Rod Hull alive – and getting
 paid as well?”

Ab                               
Heard a Palace spokesman mention 
Eb
Sarah
Ab                           
Said she’d known the groins of 
             Eb
Jacques Laffite
      Ab                           
She’s well prepared to be a 
  Eb
standard bearer
   Ab                         
As pure as unproverbial driven 
 Eb
sleet.

C                             Am
Halfway up the Wrekin with an empty 
flask of tea
  C                              
A fog descends and takes away my 
Am
visibility
    C                              
Yet in this Helen Keller state I’d 
Am
still quite like to know

“Why is Rod Hull alive – and getting

      Am                E         
And I wonder if they’ll bring back
          Am              E
 National Service and the birch

And I wonder but I doubt if they 
will ever bring back the Watney Cup.
