Right: Ingrid relates The Tale of Brixton Water Lane

My name be Eggy Simpson,
I come from Timbuktu,
And all day long I sing a song
Of western Waterloo.

My earwig’s name am Ingrid,
She comes from Kazakhstan:
She has no neck, but flipping heck! she can’t half spin a yarn.

She tells me tales of froglets
What live in Bangladesh.
Their legs are short;
They’re often caught
In fings made out of mesh.

CHORUS:

Hey, ho, the hedgehogs sing
“We invented everything –
Parchment, Playdoh, balls of string.
Make your peace with God.”
