Grandpa Joe, grandpa Joe
How did the contest go, go, go
Grandpa Joe, Grandpa Joe
How do you make stuff out of dough?

Mum is mean, mum is mean
Mum’s face is really green
Mum is mean, mum is mean
She has a fly stuck in her jeans!

Lilly, Lilly silly billy
Her brother’s name is Billy, Billy
Lilly, Lilly silly billy
Her sister’s name is Milly, Milly

Delia...doesn’t want to be seen
Because her has gone bright green
It looks the colour of a leaf
Now mum and dad will give her grief
She tried to make her hair look fine
Now its gone a shade of lime
Delia, Delia she can be mean
Delia, Delia her hair is green
