Crush

Summer days on our estate
of ice cream van and vapour trails
and girls in pink with pony tails
and cans of drink and painted nails

And after rain and sudden hail
dried up worms and slugs and snails
get trodden under foot and fail
to find a better future

-

What from this can we conclude ?

That little girls do as they should
but boys aren't nearly half as nice

Ask them once
They do it twice

So if you want some good advice
give sugar to the girls and spice

For little boys are far too rude
and slugs and snails should be their food

-

Now summer days are getting late
and here's a man who's found his mate
but neither he nor she can wait
to start their new adventure

For after rain and sudden hail
come girls in pink with pony tails
and who would think that they could fail
to find a better future ?
