about

John, raised by his Aunt Mimi, shared a unique bond and understood each other’s sharp and dark sense of humor. They would often break into peals of laughter after exchanging insults. On this occasion Mimi has been reading about what John has been up to lately in her local papers and is utterly appalled.

lyrics

I’ve been reading the papers
All this shocking behaviour
Houseflies, naked bottoms and drugs
There’s talk from all the neighbours
You can’t just sweep this under the rug

Don’t bother with the papers
You’ll get a case of the vapours
Reports are exaggerated
It’s scientifically proven
Naked bums are overrated

Always good to hear from you

Have you quit your hobby?
Playing guitar is folly
It’ll never work out
You’ll never earn a living by it
Yes, it was that Paul’s great idea, no doubt!

Always good to hear from you

Why embarrass your Auntie?
Oh, I wish you’d kept your MBE
Her Majesty’s a pretty nice girl
But she doesn’t do a lot for me, Mimi.

John, you’re looking so thin
I could send you some biscuit tins
Aren’t you the least bit homesick?
I could use some custard creams
Or a good digestive would do the trick

Always good to hear from you
Happy to lend an ear or two
Always good to hear from you

And I’d love some Chocolate Olivers!
