lyrics

Meet the kids, my gruesome progeny
I’ve got one of each upon either side of me
Daddy’s got some baggage and he needs someone to carry it
The boy’s called Ainsley and the girl’s called Harriet

The other half, the incumbent Mrs Jones,
She’s more like Mrs Rochester, she stalks the attic floors alone
I heard you say the housekeeper is eyeing you suspiciously
Well if the job’s worth doing then it’s worth doing maliciously

And what about this place?
Its clever use of light and space?
But isn’t one place much the same as another
When you think about it?

I heard you say that my valet may have the look of Roy Kinnear
Don’t let him hear you saying that or he could slit you ear-to-ear
Though I suppose you could be right that in a certain light
The children’s governess could pass for Rudolf Höss

That just leaves the gardener, his nickname is Pete the Veg
He breakfasts upon Strongbow, he says that it gives him an edge
The gossip below stairs is I may be his whelp
They say that Mama had a weakness for “the help”

And what about this place?
Its clever use of light and space?
But isn’t one place much the same as another
When you think about it?
