They are just great, your mum and dad
They mean to be and so they are
They fill you with tea cake and jam
And drive you about in their car
Because their parents in their turn
Were just so great to them you see
That’s where their mum-dad skills were learned
That were so good for you and me
We hand our happiness along
It deepens like a riverbed
With this device there’s nothing wrong
I think that’s just what Larkin said

Look, if you get fed jam as a child you end up like Shambles
that's tantamount to child abuse
