STUFFERATION (Adrian Mitchell)

Lovers lie around in it

Broken glass is found in it Cigarettes are lit by it
Grass Pensioners are happy when they sit by it
I like that stuff Fire
I like that stuff
Tuna fish get trapped in it
Legs come wrapped in it Dankworth’s alto is made of it, most of it,
Nylon Scoobeedo is composed of it
I like that stuff Plastic
I like that stuff
Eskimos and tramps chew it
Madame Tussaud gave status to it Apemen take it to make them hairier
Wax I ate a ton of it in Bulgaria
I like that stuff Yoghurt
I like that stuff
Elephants get sprayed with it
Scotch is made with it Man-made fibres and raw materials
Water Old rolled gold and breakfast cereals
I like that stuff Platinum linoleum
I like that stuff
Clergy are dumbfounded by it
Bones are surrounded by it Skin on my hands
Flesh Hair on my head
I like that stuff Toenails on my feet
And linen on my bed
Harps are strung with it
Mattresses are sprung with it Well I like that stuff
Wires Yes I like that stuff
I like that stuff The earth
Is made of earth
Carpenters make cots of it And I like that stuff
Undertakers use lots of it
Wood
I like that stuff
