There's a boy with a brace across his teeth 
 White socks, tattooed underneath 
 Bus tickets crunched up in his palm 
 Stood there he's spinning a yarn 

 There's a girl with a plastic pair of shoes 
 Two eyes permanently bruised 
 Can't find the time to be alarmed 
 Just stood spinning a yarn 

 Just take your time 
 It'll work out fine 
 It'll do no harm 
 To spin your yarn 

 You do English 
 I'll do sums 
 You break fingers 
 I'll break thumbs 
 You play Dads 
 And I'll play Mums 
 You play Glockenspiel 
 And I'll play drums 

 My name is Derek from the den 
 I deal in shillings and in pence 
 I'll get you any deal you like 
 Ten sweets for a mountain bike you like 

 My name is Mandy from the yard 
 I deal in crazy tarot cards 
 I'll tell you what the future brings 
 One cat and a dog that sings 

 You do English 
 I'll do sums 
 You break fingers 
 I'll break thumbs 
 You play Dads 
 And I'll play Mums 
 You play Glockenspiel 
 And I'll play drums 

 Just take your time 
 It'll work out fine 
 It'll do no harm 
 To spin your yarn 

 You do English 
 I'll do sums 
 You break fingers 
 I'll break thumbs 
 You play Dads 
 And I'll play Mums 
 You play Glockenspiel 
 And I'll play drums
