Birthday Special Peter Hammill

[Verse 1]
I've got something to say
And it ain't the usual sort of sob-story
That you hear every day
I've got something to ask
And I know that now's the time
Now all the rooms of the party are dark
Proffer me the candy
Yes, I understand is fine;
Blow another candle out
And throw another line....

[Chorus]
Birthday girl, I've got something for you
There's ice in the cauldron, look out now;
Birthday girl, here comes a special
Like Hansel and Gretel never had

[Verse 2]
There's parrots in the pantry
And there's lizards in the loo; (Toot, toot, toot, toot, toot, toot, toot)
There's bloaters in the bathroom
And this party is a zoo; (Toot, toot, toot, toot, toot, toot, toot)
I'm sitting in the kitchen
Trying hard to talk to you (Bi-Bi-Bi-Bi-Bi-Bi-Bi—)
