Bungalow Dreaming
I’ve got my eye on a bungalow
now I’m ageing fast and living slow

No more Captain’s Prize and no more Ladies’ Day
No more midweek medals o...

Cost six grand from B and Q
It came with white robes, a fridge and a sub
They’re for the chosen few
Neighbour’s got a new hot tub
It completely fills his deck
It’s superior to a back rub
And it’s sorted out his neck
It’s both rigid and inflatable
With blue lights in LED
It’s necessity’s debatable
It’s an al fresco luxury
