Dandelion & Burdock

Lyrics

Looking back to a better time
 When life was good and there was little crime
 Children played on their pogo sticks
 And on Saturday went to the local Flicks
 We all drank big bottles of pop
 Especially Dandelion and Burdock
 What I'd give for a tiny slurp
 Though it stung your nose and it made you burp
 We were always polite to bobbies
 On rememberance day, we all wore poppies
 And we all had useful Hobbies
 At the Crich Tram Museum
 I was with a friend called Ian
 We were there from 9
 Till chucking out time
 There was so much there worth seeing
 At the Crich Tram Museum
 Disaster befell poor Ian
 A vicous jasper
 Made him drop
 His Dandelion and Burdock
 Oh, that jasper made him drop
 His Dandelion and Burdock
 Ian's bottle had developed a crack
 So he couldn't get his deposit back
 Tuppence may not seem a lot
 But it would buy you a big fat lollipop
 Black Jacks were ten a penny
 Remember now, we're talking old money
 Not that we ever had any
 But we were happy.
 Cycling with my peers
 The wind whistling past my ears
 As we reached Mam Tor
 I was grateful for
 My Sturmey Archer Gears
 At the Crich Tram Museum
 I was with a friend called Ian
 We were there from 9
 Till chucking out time
 There was so much there worth seeing
 At the Crich Tram Museum
 Disaster befell poor Ian
 A vicous jasper
 Made him drop
 His Dandelion and Burdock
 Oh, that jasper made him drop
 His Dandelion and Burdock
 Oh, but how I love a drop
 of Dandelion and Burdock
