about

SHREWSBURY. DETROIT. HAMBURG. SOUTH SHIELDS! Some people are debating the death penalty. Others England v. Germany. Some are merely lazing in the park as summer beckons. All will do the springtime stomp, without question.

lyrics

Dilly dilly daffodilly
Canteloupe and Antelope
Dilly dilly daffodilly
Canteloupe and Antelope
Dilly dilly daffodilly
Canteloupe and Antelope
Kasey, Andrew, Sarah
We’re A1 without ceremony

Lazing in the public park
Sharing downtime with the lark
Lazing in the public park
Sharing downtime with the lark

There’s a piano in your house
There’s a discotheque in your step
This is your inheritance
Do the springtime stomp again
Do the springtime stomp again
Do the springtime stomp again

Faraway traffic
A dusty attic
There’s a parking ticket
There’s a prickly thicket

Undercover lady detective
With no boss or directive
Threepenny Opera dialectic
Severe fring,e mein leiber

There’s a piano in your house
There’s a discotheque in your step
This is your inheritance
Do the springtime stomp again
Do the springtime stomp again
Do the springtime stomp again
Do the springtime stomp again
Again… mein leiber
Mein leiber

There’s a shiver down your spine
Got your whole life down in lines
There’s a shiver down your spine
Got your whole life down in lines
Got your whole life down in lines
(Like slumbering lions)
It’s very true that nothing lasts forever
Least of all the April weather
(More’s the better)

There’s a piano in your house
There’s a discotheque in your step
This is your inheritance
Do the springtime stomp again
Do the springtime stomp again
Do the springtime stomp again

There’s a shiver down your spine
Got your whole life down in lines
In quatrains and twelve bar loops
The bloody foreigners
How dare they?
Offer the hand of friendship!?
It must be a conspiracy,
Against our team

There’s a piano in your house
There’s a discotheque in your step
An epic win for future sin
Do the springtime stomp again!
It’s a bizarre sail in the air
It’s a Matthew Upson affair
Yes, the Germans they do it better
Come and taste some schadenfreude.

Dilly dilly daffodilly
Canteloupe and Antelope
Dilly dilly daffodilly
Canteloupe and Antelope
Dilly dilly daffodilly
Canteloupe and Antelope
Dilly dally dilly dally
