My Silly Friend
I’ve got a rather silly friend
Who stands upon his head
He says his name is Albert
But I know his name is Fred.
He throws bananas at me
And he makes a barking sound
I think I’ll just pretend I’m out
The next time he comes round.
Who stands upon his head
He says his name is Albert
But I know his name is Fred.
He throws bananas at me
And he makes a barking sound
I think I’ll just pretend I’m out
The next time he comes round.
