Song Lyrics

You wandered in upon my life
And haven't lost me yet
Said the turkey to the carving knife
"what you give is what you get"
A fresh and lovely summers day
We thought would never end
Said the bloodhound to the stag at bay
"I thought you were my friend"

I thought you are my friend
Glad to know you, and by way of welcome
Pleased to meet you

We laugh and cry as lovers will
And howl at many moons
Said the waiter as he wrote the bill
"please return the spoons"
As hand in hand we wander on
Through life's own wondrous maze
Said robin hood to little john
"there must be other ways"

There must be other ways
Glad to know you, a way of saying welcome
Pleased to meet you
Pleased to meet you

We rest and kissed and talked and strolled
A very precious hill
Said knife and fork to sausage roll
"it's pinky in the middle"
And thus it seems come rain and shine
The patience still unfolds
Said the pike upon the angler's line
"I wish that I could talk"

I wish that I could talk
Glad to know you, and you're very welcome
Pleased to meet you

I wish that I could talk
Glad to know you, a way of saying welcome
Pleased to meet you
Pleased to meet you

We rest and kissed and talked and strolled
A very precious hill
Said knife and fork to sausage roll
"it's pinky in the middle"
And thus it seems come rain and shine
The patience still unfolds
Said the pike upon the angler's line
"I wish that I could talk"

I wish that I could talk
Glad to know you, and you're very welcome
Pleased to meet you

I wish that I could talk
Glad to know you, and you're very welcome
Pleased to meet you

I wish that I could talk

I wish that I could talk
Glad to know you, and you're very welcome
Pleased to meet you
