DRIVEN ROUND BEND WITH JOY; ON YOUR BIKE
'LOVELY FEET'' When your oh'' so tired and weary, and the day at last is at an end, You turn the key, let yourself inside before you
go round the bend. It''s a pleasure to just discard your clothes, put on joggers, time to relax, Think about the evening meal, switch on the TV check the news on Ceefax Your brain and body are aching, it''s time to find a comfortable seat, 'I need pampering'', so I start by paying attention to my poor feet Steeping them in warm water oh'' the joy just tantalises the brain, Simply excruciating warmth and comfort in every pore, releasing my pain.
