De La Salle

I wonder if the De La Salle brothers got papped
And did their holy mothers and jealous fathers
ever feel trapped
did Mary like all the attention
and did Jesus ever get detention
Wonder if Caesar ever did his sums
and did Joan of arc ever slip and slice her thumb chopping onions in double home economics
and would Archimedes have liked electronics?
Panic stations don't set in
don't worry if you're not getting, the reward
that you think you deserve,
good things come to those who wait
god knows I've waited patiently
take a ticket there's a seat here next to me

The number seventeen and Steve McQueen
seem an unlikely combination considering
his elevation to Hollywood got an all-round blonde Adonis
I can't see him settling down in Heaton Norris
would Elvis have been able to adapt
would he have gone to court over reports his phone was tapped
would Priscilla remain and reside by his side
with the lonely loyalty of being his bride

Panic stations don't set in
don't worry if you're not getting, the reward
that you think you deserve,
good things come to those who wait
god knows I've waited patiently
take a ticket there's a seat here next to me
Panic stations don't set in
don't worry if you're not getting, the reward
that you think you deserve,
good things come to those who wait
god knows I've waited patiently
take a ticket there's a seat here next to me
