Written by myself, performed by Peter Dymond

Ankle

Intro

Nothing touches me like a well turned ankle
On a lovely lady walking down the street
But something that always seems to rankle
Its never me she's ever there to meet

But I never stint in my determination
And one day I saw a vision quite divine
I walked up to her and without hesitation
I hit her with the ultimate chat up line.......

Chorus

Would you like to bathe with me in sasparilla
I could fill the bath right up to the brink
I've got bubble bath I brought back from Manilla
It will smell quite divine, what do you think ?

We can spend the evening in my big four poster
And try to put this awful world to rights
And what I like to boasta
Is a brand new pop up toaster
With innumerable surprises and delights

Verse

Well it turned out that the lady was no goddess
She was much less shapely of that there is no doubt
She was held together by a full length bodice
And when she undressed, it all cascaded out

But the let down didn't spike my predilections
So I resumed my placement on the promenade
When an enchanting lady walked in my direction
I sidled up to her and promptly said

Chorus

Would you like to bathe with me in sasparilla
I could fill the bath right up to the brink
I've got bubble bath I brought back from Manilla
It will smell quite divine, what do you think ?

We can spend the evening in my big four poster
And try to put this awful world to rights
And what I like to boasta
Is a brand new pop up toaster
With innumerable surprises and delights
