One Hat Songtext
von Fall in Green

Hello
I′m Mrs. Rutherford
I'm sighing
You see
I′m dreaming of the Christmas of '38

A crisp sea of roasties
As a moat for the bird

Sprigs of holly as ears
Red ribbon as a belt

Golden, elegant
Bacon over breast

The star of the table
With its cutlet frilly hats on each side
Like two mini chefs


Cutting to '45
The Ministry of Food put their foot down
Just the one
They told us
On our Five-Valve-Wireless

Half, they said, Half

At Mr. Joneses′ butchers
He asked if we wanted a left or right side of the bird?
Logical or creative?
I wasn′t sure
We couldn't have both

So, one hat it was
Still, it was a good meal

Barry said he loved the stuffing
Even though we were low on onions

He dropped a bit of gravy on his corduroys
Then he stared into space for ten minutes

Amazing what you can do with that Oxo, though
We even had a few bird scraps left over for
Everything-In Stew
