Jumble Sale - Jake Thackray[00:00:01]
My love life was as humble as[00:00:08]
My features when I stumbled[00:00:10]
On the jumble sale unbelievable[00:00:11]
The things that you can find there[00:00:14]
They've got stuff of every kind there[00:00:16]
At the jumble sale[00:00:18]
I was down and out I'd nowhere else to go[00:00:20]
I'd sown my oats I'd flung my fling[00:00:23]
The parish hall was all lit up[00:00:26]
Its doors were wide[00:00:28]
I poked my nose inside[00:00:30]
Before I'd time to hide[00:00:31]
The vicar asked me in[00:00:33]
Romance perchance prevails[00:00:38]
At humdrum jumble sales[00:00:45]
With a jaded eye I eyed the[00:00:55]
Faded piles of lumber[00:00:56]
Of the jumble sale rough and tumble sale[00:00:58]
Where ladies of the village[00:01:01]
Fight like visigoths for pillage[00:01:03]
Dear old jumble sale[00:01:04]
But behind the cut glass brass[00:01:06]
And pewter pots[00:01:09]
The plaster pussy cats the china gnomes[00:01:10]
I saw a girl a wild eyed butterfly[00:01:13]
Junoesque but shy[00:01:16]
And just the thing for my[00:01:18]
For my mantelpiece at home[00:01:20]
Chick of the bric a brac[00:01:24]
Pick of the vicar's knick knacks[00:01:32]
With a pounding pulse I skulked[00:01:41]
Around the bulky counters[00:01:43]
Of the jumble sale fumbling at bundles[00:01:44]
Of those long departed trousers[00:01:48]
Old pyjama tops and blouses[00:01:49]
Found at jumble sales[00:01:51]
I'd not got the savoir faire the flair[00:01:53]
I hardly dare look over at her stand[00:01:56]
But with determination which defies belief[00:02:00]
All set to come to grief[00:02:03]
I grit my snaggle teeth[00:02:05]
And I took her by the hand[00:02:06]
One bob per objet d'art[00:02:11]
Gratis and carte blanche my heart[00:02:19]
Iacta was my alea my chips were[00:02:28]
Down and numbered[00:02:30]
At the jumble sale but[00:02:31]
Suddenly my tongue tied[00:02:33]
I just burbled I just bumbled I was[00:02:35]
Sure my chance had crumbled[00:02:37]
At the jumble sale[00:02:38]
I just stood there in a funk a[00:02:40]
Dumbstruck booboo[00:02:43]
Gawping at her pretty bibelots[00:02:44]
But then she smiled not[00:02:46]
Much but I knew then[00:02:48]
I'd see her lips again[00:02:50]
Her bijoux and her gems[00:02:51]
And her precious curios[00:02:53]
Perchance romance prevails[00:02:58]
So come to some humdrum jumble sales[00:03:05]
Jumble sales[00:03:15]
Come to some crummy jumble sales[00:03:19]
