Songs Title：in the middle of the night

Nice man george newsagent on the corner
Not very rich but never any poorer
Jaunty old george a happy sixty-three
Not very tall but healthier than me
He whistles timeless tunes as he saunters down the street
Springs in his legs and elastic in his feet
But in the middle of the night
He steals through your garden
Gives your hosiery a fright
And doesnt say pardon
As soft as a breeze
With an arm full of underwear
On his hands and knees

Dreams about the knicker scare
Hello there george newsagent on the corner
Hows the old car yes the climates getting warmer
Chatty old george as you get your morning paper
Read about the knicker thief underwear taker
Bids you good day as you wander out the door
Never closes early always cleans the floor
But when darkness hits the town

And theres washing on your line

Get your knickers down

Before the dreaded sign

When the clock strikes eight
And youre snuggled up in bed
Hell be at the garden gate
Filling underwear with dread

Nice man george newsagent on the corner
He was closed today maybe gone to mow the lawn
I had to go further down the road to get me current bun
Hello - isnt that george on page one
No it couldnt be but yes it is
Difficult to see from these photofits
But they are after him

Of that you can be sure
Theyve called him on the phone

Theyve knocked on his door

A-but hes gone away
Gone to stay with some mates

He got the papers early
And saw his own face
