Garden Party Lyrics

    Garden party held today, invites call the debs to play,
    Social climbers polish ladders,
    Wayward sons again have fathers,
    "hello, dad!", "hello, dad!"
    Edgy eggs and queuing cumbers,
    Rudely wakened from their slumbers
    Time has come again for slaughter on the lawns by still cam waters,
    It's a slaughter, it's a slaughter

    Champagne corks are firing at the sun again
    Swooping swallows chased by violins again
    Straafed by strauss
    They sulk in crumbling eaves again, oh god not again!

    Aperitifs consumed en masse display their owners on the grass
    Couples loiter in the cloisters, social leeches quoting chaucer
    Doctor's son, a parson's daughter where, why not and should they oughta
    Please don't lie upon the grass, unless accompanied by a fellow,
    May i be so bold as to perhaps suggest othello, perhaps suggest othello

    Punting on the cam is jolly fun they say
    Beagling on the downs, oh please do come they say
    Rugger is the tops, a game for men they say, they say, good god they say

    I'm punting, i'm beagling, i'm wining, reclining, i'm rucking, i'm fucking, so welcome, it's a party

    Angie chalks another blue, mother smiles she did it too
    Chitters chat and gossips lash, posers pose, pressmen flash, flash, [flash]

    Smiles polluted with false charm, locking on to royal arms,
    Society columns now ensured, returns to mingle with the crowds
    Oh what a crowd

    Oh, punting on the cam, oh please do come they say
    Beagling on the downs, oh please so come they say
    Garden party held today they say, oh please do come,
    Oh please do come, they say.
