Pikes Party 1983 Song

To the tune of,"The Toreador (Carmen)" ---- By Ray

Sung for Sandra at her eighteenth birthday family Party

As you are eighteen we recall for you
Some of the things you used to do
When you were one the ink pot was undone
What did you do with it?
You poured it all upon
The Axminster
And father said oh "Human Waste!"

When you were three you went up to your mum
And said to her "Look what I've done"
"I've gone and took the key from the clock"
"And I've swallowed it"
Then dad with Marigolds
Upon his hands
Went thro' the "Human Waste"

Then came the school years and your term reports
All of them said "You were the best"
Best at losing things and arriving late for class
Best at falling asleep
And that is why your called
Dolly Daydream
That name you'll always keep

Physiotherapy was the major plan
Nurse took you in, undressed a man
One look at him and you made up your mind
Nursing was not your game
The clarinet you chose
To work upon
But not the naked frame

Now you are eighteen life means so much more
Debts are your own no guarantor
Barclaycard and hire purchase too
Bank loan mortgage arrears
Now you can also vote
And go to pubs
'cause you are eighteen years
