On Adrian Mitchell’s answerphone –
bells ring,
birds sing,
saxophones
swing!
On Adrian Mitchell’s answerphone –
Blake works a miracle,
Big Ben sounds hysterical,
the world waxes lyrical!
On Adrian Mitchell’s answerphone –
the passwords sigh,
the terrorists cry,
the children fly!
On Adrian Mitchell’s answerphone –
leave plenty of love –
after the tone!
