Telegrams
by John Stott & Geoff Edkins

After the singing telegram singers all walked out Joe programmed the Robot Mark III to sing the telegrams - but it got them mixed up.

Verse 1
Congratulations to the girl dressed in white,
Doesn’t she look such a lovely sight,
We’re all so happy that you’ve both got wed,
They’re not just good friends coz they married instead,
So the toast is to Alice and Reginald too,
It’s too late to turn back you silly old fools.

Instrumental Bridge

Verse 2
Don’t let them tell you you’re over the hill,
Just try and tell them there’s life in you still,
Don’t let them tell you your best days are gone,
Just try and prove that you’re still going strong,
So happy returns on this your birthday,
And deny that you’re old, who cares what they say?

Instrumental Bridge

Verse 3
Congratulations, you’ve passed the test,
You’ve got your licence now do your best,
Remember your lessons and what you must do,
You’re on your own now so it’s all up to you,
So get lots of practice and you’ll go far,
But one final thing, can I borrow your car?
