Mr Crow And Sir Norman (Live) - The Idle Race

Ventrilloquist was he little boy sat on his knee

The people knew that the show was

But the best one in the land

Until the night before the act

The dummy's clothes had all been packed away he'd gone

And he'd left poor Mr Crow right in the lurch

You know he's gone far away

I hear his voice go laughing

What of all the years we shared

Hello Mr Crow has your little boy left home did he run away

Well I hope he'll soon be back to do the show

I'm sorry you must feel quite sad

When your dummy runs away without a word

That is all old Mr Crow had heard

You know he's gone far away

I hear his voice go laughing

What of all the years we shared

Now come on Mr Crow my dear

We'd better have this gottle o geer

Then one fateful night into the dressing room so bright

Walked our friend tabledoll

Mr Crow cried tears of joy all in his tea

The bad doll said kindly address me as

Sir Norman little man I am a star

And if you weren't so old maybe I'd let you be my doll

You know I've been far away

I've heard the people laugh

Now I'm a great big star
