You wandered in upon my life And haven't lost me yet Said the turkey to the carving knife "what you give is what you get" A fresh and lovely summers day We thought would never end Said the bloodhound to the stag at bay "I thought you were my friend" I thought you are my friend Glad to know you, and by way of welcome Pleased to meet you We laugh and cry as lovers will And howl at many moons Said the waiter as he wrote the bill "please return the spoons" As hand in hand we wander on Through life's own wondrous maze Said robin hood to little john "there must be other ways" There must be other ways Glad to know you, a way of saying welcome Pleased to meet you Pleased to meet you We rest and kissed and talked and strolled A very precious hill Said knife and fork to sausage roll "it's pinky in the middle" And thus it seems come rain and shine The patience still unfolds Said the pike upon the angler's line "I wish that I could talk" I wish that I could talk Glad to know you, and you're very welcome Pleased to meet you I wish that I could talk Glad to know you, a way of saying welcome Pleased to meet you Pleased to meet you We rest and kissed and talked and strolled A very precious hill Said knife and fork to sausage roll "it's pinky in the middle" And thus it seems come rain and shine The patience still unfolds Said the pike upon the angler's line "I wish that I could talk" I wish that I could talk Glad to know you, and you're very welcome Pleased to meet you I wish that I could talk Glad to know you, and you're very welcome Pleased to meet you I wish that I could talk I wish that I could talk Glad to know you, and you're very welcome Pleased to meet you
