The Conker Fight
My wish is quite simple and really quite small.
I just want to see your big conker fall.
Crack! Now it looks like smashed brains on the ground,
But, oh, how I wish it was still fat and round.
I just want to see your big conker fall.
Crack! Now it looks like smashed brains on the ground,
But, oh, how I wish it was still fat and round.
