song of the cock-sparrow

i haven't thought about the proper manner
of setting up the fences and the walls
but am now ready to follow your banner

this journey is in need of a smart planner
but no one answers our desperate calls
i haven't thought about the proper manner

i don't have much more right now than a tanner
(although some'd say that was a load of balls)
but am now ready to follow your banner

the signal will be monitored by scanner
we'll catch the villains sitting in the stalls
i haven't thought about the proper manner

the coppers will say that it's not our manor
still i've been out there whistling in the stalls
but am now ready to follow your banner

into the vast machine we'll throw a spanner
we'll catch the boss out while he's in his smalls
i haven't thought about the proper manner
but am now ready to follow your banner
