MY CHARMING NAN – by Mark Slee

(Written when I was a young boy...spooky similarities with a well known Smith's song...or maybe it is just my imgaination)

Raleigh bicycle
On my 8th birthday it is great
Does that make me a teenager yet?
When in my father’s car
My charming Nan

A camper van on our holidays
And her tartan rug
On the passenger seat

Emmerdale and knitting tonight
And she hasn’t drop a stitch to be fair
My Nan said it’s truthful
That Terry Wogan dyes his hair

She opened to the pantry door
And found a tin of beans
She said, they’re good for you
She knows so much about these things

Emmerdale and knitting tonight
And she hasn’t drop a stitch to be fair
My Nan said it’s truthful
That Terry Wogan dyes his hair
Oh, la-la, la-la, la-la, my charming Nan ...
Oh, da-da, da-da, da-da, my charming Nan...


She opened to the pantry door
And found a tin of beans
She said, they’re good for you
She knows so much about these things
She knows so much about these things
She knows so much about these things

Markie

And if one day I should become
A singer with a Spanish bum
Who sings for women of great virtue
I'd sing to them with a guitar
I borrowed from coffee bar
Well, what you don't know doesn't hurt you

My name would be Antonio
And all my bridges I would burn
And if I gave them some they'd know
I expect something in return

I'd have to get drunk every night
To talk about virility
With some old grandmother who might
Be decked out like a Christmas tree

And tho' pink elephants I'd see
Tho' I'd be drunk as I could be
Still I'd sing my song to me,
About the time they called me Markie
If I could be for only an hour
If I could be for an hour every day
If I could be for just one little hour
A cute, cute in a stupid-ass way
