Camberwell Now - Daddy Needs a Throne lyrics

At home, on a label on a bottle In a cupboard in the kitchen There's your proof, Daddy on a throne After a long hard tiring day Answering the telephone, no time for a lunch break Daddy needs a Mummy to fix his drink A few square feet of city centre office space That's his domain And the information therein contained The furniture and fittings, it's his responsibility When he pops it or when he retires, whichever comes first It will take a long time to break in the new boy Profits will slide A golden wristwatch, a golden handshake at rainbow's end Some people in his office aren't pulling their weight But he soldiers on After eight hours at work behind his des Daddy needs a grand-plumed hat As tall as Rocket's chimney If the Daddy had no arms Was sat upon his throne Grand-plumed hat upon his head... Just because you can sit on a horse doesn't mean you can ride Can't get ahead, get a hat Just you wait 'til your father gets home Just because you can sit on a horse doesn't mean you can ride Can't get ahead, get a hat Just you wait 'til your father gets home
