(Heaton/Rotheray)
There's a boy with a brace across his teeth 
White socks, tattooed underneath 
Bus tickets crunched up in his palm 
Stood there he's spinning a yarn 

There's a girl with a plastic pair of shoes 
Two eyes permanently bruised 
Can't find the time to be alarmed 
Just stood spinning a yarn 

Just take your time 
It'll work out fine 
It'll do no harm 
To spin your yarn 

You do English 
I'll do sums 
You break fingers 
I'll break thumbs 
You play Dads 
And I'll play Mums 
You play Glockenspiel 
And I'll play drums 

My name is Derek from the den 
I deal in shillings and in pence 
I'll get you any deal you like 
Ten sweets for a mountain bike you like 

My name is Mandy from the yard 
I deal in crazy tarot cards 
I'll tell you what the future brings 
One cat and a dog that sings 

You do English 
I'll do sums 
You break fingers 
I'll break thumbs 
You play Dads 
And I'll play Mums 
You play Glockenspiel 
And I'll play drums 

Just take your time 
It'll work out fine 
It'll do no harm 
To spin your yarn 

You do English 
I'll do sums 
You break fingers 
I'll break thumbs 
You play Dads 
And I'll play Mums 
You play Glockenspiel 
And I'll play drums
