There once was a lad named Kit

Who had a best friend who was hip

To all the latest fads which came along

And was fond of learning the words to all 

                        the latest songs 



And then along came a lady who really liked Kit

So much so she quite often gave him a neat flip

This warmed the cockles of poor old Kit's heart

And the more she did it, the more he became hard



At hearing the song of any of his other friends

Even the words remembered by his very best, again

Who he'd thoroughly enjoyed spending time with

Whenever he was waiting for the lady who'd flip



But then she informed Kit there was yet another

Who had gotten under her skin and she'd be mother

To him, along with all of her other young boys

Because he was there at the right time to play 

                                 with her toys



And Kit thought about it, & put 2 and 2 together

And then realized someone would wind up with holes

                                  in their leather

For even though they two lived 3000 miles apart

Kit knew well who had swiped the flipper's heart



It was Kit's very best friend, who was always there

Whenever she did her flips for Kit, and Mick stared

And obviously was as much affected by it as was Kit

For there was an awful lot going on - which also 

                                 affected Mick ...
