Squeeze - Can Of Worms Lyrics
(difford/tilbrook)She was married and then divorcedThings seemed to happen that wayThe children were confused, sometimes theyd fightSitting in their toys and gamesTo them shes mother and I am their friendWho sits with them on his lapAnd sleeps on the sofa on alternate weekendsNo substitute for their dadShes a very good mumAs she tries to explainEverything that she canBut a childs mind is sharpThey imagine the worstSometimes cant understandThat theres so much to learnWhen you open a can of wormsSo to the park to play on the swingsTo give their mother a breakWhen I saw their father walking down the pathHeading down towards the gateI froze on the spot, heart in my throatI hoped hed not see us thereHe soon disappeared and the kids on the slideWere happy and unawareI read the papers and made scrambled eggsThe kids got ready to leaveTheir father was taking them for the weekendWith pocket money and sweetsThey were excited as they waved goodbyeAnd I went straight back to bedTheir mother stood and watched as they drove awayStanding on the front door step
