17. CRACKER

Arrest that merry motorist
Let no excuses sway!
Remember, though a cracker,
She must be made to pay.
Now she might think she has the right,
To drive around that way!
O see her eyelids flutt’ring away,
Flutt’ring away,
O She mi-ght have to flut-ter them all day.

We’ve caught you bang to rights, young Miss!
There’s nothing you can say!
Driving in your car whilst pissed,
Upon this carriage-way.
You’ve blown into our little bag,
And given the game away!
O see her eyelids flutt’ring away,
Flutt’ring away,
O She mi-ght have to flut-ter them all day.

Now Carol’s getting desperate,
For Chris out in the snow.
She worried about him so very much,
And had to let them know,
That she’d heard about his accident,
From some bloke on the phone!
O see her eyelids flutt’ring away,
Flutt’ring away,
O She mi-ght have to flut-ter them all day.

Now young policemen are not stupid,
And weren’t born yesterday.
Thought that she was trying a scam,
So she could get away.
Told her that they nearly heard
A new one ev’ry day!
O see her eyelids flutt’ring away,
Flutt’ring away,
O She mi-ght have to flut-ter them all day.

She told them of her nursing life,
And how she stayed prepared,
To care for others, like themselves,
Good work for folk that cared.
Surely in times much like this,
It was a job they shared!
O see her eyelids flutt’ring away,
Flutt’ring away,
O She mi-ght have to flut-ter them all day.

Whilst they weren’t com-plet-e-ly,
Convinced by this her tale,
They thought they’d best check it all out,
Before she went to jail.
In case there was a man out there,
Who’s life signs might just fail!
O see her eyelids flutt’ring away,
Flutt’ring away,
O She mi-ght have to flut-ter them all day.

So finally she talked them ’round,
To going on the way,
To a Wood called Sixteen Acre,
Where she thought Chris did lay,
Upon the ground all freezing cold,
After too much delay!
O see her eyelids flutt’ring away,
Flutt’ring away,
O She mi-ght have to flut-ter them all day.
