FAR TOO MANY ROGERS
ONLY TWO HUGHS
WITH THE RALPH'S AND EDMUNDS
I'M COMPLETELY CONFUSED
ALONG CAME THE FIRST ROGER
DE MORTIMER WAS HIS NAME
NEXT CAME A RALPH
A MARCHER LORD HE BECAME
AFTER RALPH A HUGH
A MORTIMER LORD THROUGH AND THROUGH
THEN ANOTHER ROGER
THEN ANOTHER HUGH
WITH THOSE NAMES
I BET YOU'RE CONFUSED
ALONG CAME A SECOND RALPH
WITH THAT MORTIMER NAME
NEXT ANOTHER ROGER
AT EVESHAM HE WON FAME
EDMUND HIS SECOND SON
THE LORD OF WIGMORE HE DID BECOME
THEN ANOTHER ROGER
AN EDMUND NEXT
I MUST SAY
IT'S TOO COMPLEX
USUALLY I DON'T DO THIS SORT OF THING OF COURSE
I'M MORE KNOWN FOR MY SECOND HAND CAR EXPERTISE
I'VE GOT SOME LOVELY DEALS ON MY FORECOURT
AT THE MOMENT THAT YOU SHOULD SEE
MOST OF THEM REJECTED BY DEL BOY WHICH IS PROBABLY NOT A GOOD SIGN
I'VE GOT A LOVELY SKODA WITH A LAURA ASHLEY INTERIOR
AND A CLEAN ASHTRAY
BUT NO WHEELS, JUST A CLEAN ASHTRAY
ALONG CAME THE FIFTH ROGER
WITH THAT MORTIMER NAME
NEXT A THIRD EDMUND
A ROYAL WIFE HE DID CLAIM
THEN ANOTHER ROGER
FOLLOWED BY AN EDMUND ONCE AGAIN
FAR TOO MANY ROGERS
ONLY TWO HUGHS
WITH THE RALPH'S AND EDMUNDS
I'M COMPLETELY CONFUSED
COME ALONG MARLENE GET YOUR COAT WE'RE LEAVING
