[Verse 1]
There's a boy with a brace across his teeth
White socks, tattooed underneath
Bus tickets crushed up in his palm
Stood there, he's spinning a yarn

There's a girl with a plastic pair of shoes
Two eyes permanently bruised
Can't find the time to be alarmed
Just stood spinning a yarn

[Pre-Chorus]
Just take your time
It'll work out fine
It'll do no harm
To spin your yarn

[Chorus]
You do English, I'll do sums
You break fingers, I'll break thumbs
You play Dad's, and I'll play Mum's
You play Glockenspiel and I'll play drums
You play Glockenspiel and I'll play drums

[Verse 2]
My name is Derek from the den
I deal in shillings and in pence
I'll get you any deal you like
Ten sweets for a mountain bike you like
My name is Mandy from the yard
I deal in crazy tarot cards
I'll tell you what the future brings
One cat and a dog that sings

[Pre-Chorus]
Just take your time
It'll work out fine
It'll do no harm
To spin your yarn

[Chorus]
You do English, I'll do sums
You break fingers, I'll break thumbs
You play Dad's, and I'll play Mum's
You play Glockenspiel and I'll play drums
You play Glockenspiel and I'll play drums

[Instrumental]

[Pre-Chorus]
Just take your time
It'll work out fine
It'll do no harm
To spin your yarn
[Refrain]
To spin your yarn, spin your yarn

[Chorus]
You do English, I'll do sums
You break fingers, I'll break thumbs
You play Dad's, and I'll play Mum's
You play Glockenspiel and I'll play drums
You play Glockenspiel and I'll play drums
