🎵 Let’s sing along with the lyrics! 🎤
“I Dig a Pygmy” by Charles Hawtrey and the Deaf AidsPhase one, in which Doris gets her oatsTwo of us riding nowhereSpending someone’s hard-earned payYou and me Sunday drivingNot arriving on our way back homeWe’re on our way homeWe’re on our way homeWe’re going homeTwo of us sending postcardsWriting letters on my wallYou and me burning matchesLifting latches on our way back homeWe’re on our way homeWe’re on our way homeWe’re going homeYou and I have memoriesLonger than the road that stretches out aheadTwo of us wearing raincoatsStanding solo in the sunYou and me chasing paperGetting nowhere on our way back homeWe’re on our way homeWe’re on our way homeWe’re going homeYou and I have memoriesLonger than the road that stretches out aheadTwo of us wearing raincoatsStanding solo in the sunYou and me chasing paperGetting nowhere on our way back home
