 Go on. You know the tune and you know you want to sing...

Any Ditch Will Do

Out on a hike, I ventured off-route

To check beyond doubt, what I thought I knew.

And right behind, someone was calling,

But I just ignored them.

Any ditch will do.  

I dived right in, I was beyond thrilled  

The ditch was mud-filled, what an awesome coup!

But it soon came clear, Gail’s heart was sinking,

She was not thinking

That any ditch will do.

So home we go,

The bath is run,

My coat of mud will soon be gone,

The dirt is flowing down the plughole,

I am left all wet. 

May I return to the beginning,

When Gail is grinning, and I am too. 

The world and I, we are still waiting

Still hesitating**

Any ditch will do.

**Gail complains that Nobby's adapted lyric here is totally misleading. He never, ever hesitates before jumping in a ditch!
