This afternoon the ice-cream man [00:00:12]
Has driven his magnetic van [00:00:15]
From Angkor Wat or Isfahan [00:00:17]
To park down by the meadows [00:00:20]
The captain of a pirate ship [00:00:25]
He struggles hard to keep his grip [00:00:27]
With cannonades of strawb'ry whip [00:00:29]
Delivered through the windows [00:00:32]
A British Bedford Dormobile [00:00:43]
Done over pink for eye appeal [00:00:46]
With rainbow discs on every wheel [00:00:48]
It makes a magic wagon [00:00:50]
A mass of metal glorified [00:00:55]
Sesame thrown open wide [00:00:58]
And this amazing man inside [00:01:00]
Fantastic as a dragon [00:01:02]
It must be standing on tiptoe [00:01:13]
And reaching up to trade your dough [00:01:16]
For scoops of Technicolor snow [00:01:18]
That makes the man look royal [00:01:21]
To me he looks a normal bloke [00:01:25]
With a second line in lukewarm Coke [00:01:28]
Busting for a decent smoke [00:01:31]
To break the round of toil [00:01:33]
I guess I've got a jaundiced eye [00:01:44]
The children never spot the lie [00:01:46]
They're queueing up and reaching high [00:01:49]
For something that tastes lovely [00:01:51]
Neapolitan wafers make the day [00:01:55]
The king is in his castle gay [00:01:58]
And they're behind him all the way [00:02:01]
Below me they're above me [00:02:03]
Who'd guess from how they make a meal [00:02:13]
With darting tongue and teeth of steel [00:02:16]
From a mess of frigid cochineal [00:02:19]
That they were born to sorrow [00:02:21]
Gone to dust the age of kings [00:02:26]
Lost the taste for simple things [00:02:29]
If only time would give me wings [00:02:31]
I'd double back tomorrow [00:02:34]
