Lyrics

it's nice to sit on the highest cliff, for a minute or two, and it's nice to ride a stallion or go sailing in a galleon, with a good crew, and it's nice to walk the clover, when its wet all over in the morning dew, did you ever see a dogs nose quiver when the wind blows, that's me with you, breaking up the fresh bread throwing crumbs on the bed, i'm a lout, smiling at the wall and tying up a shoestring, i'm going out, happy as a heffer chewing the cud, happy as a bubble in mud, did you ever hear a tune slide swinging from the inside, that's me with you, if you take some yellow add a little bit of blue, you're bound to get green, and if you keep a horse from water sooner or later he turns mean, well its nice to have a nibble, but don't you go and let it spoil the meal, i'm a feather from a black crow beady on the hedgerow, that's me with you, well its nice to stroll when the storm is gone, and it all smells new, and its nice to seem wise when you've only surmised, and you haven't really got a clue, when you think you are done and no one sings your song sing blues, tougher than a toenail tighter than a cats tail, that's me with you, soft as whiskers on a horse's chin, just like a cheshire cat, i'm good with a grin, like an eight nine ten jack queen with a king, happy as king arthur and his magic blade, sleeping by the lizard in the shade, happy as a fox out on a midnight raid, happy as a landlord when his rent gets paid, i'm just like an egg that's fresh i'm newly laid, yes me with you.
