Design for living
when we started making money
when we started making friends
We found a home as soon as we were able to
We bought this bijou residence
for about a thousand more than the house our little house was once the stable to
With charm
Colour values
Wit
And structural alteration
Now designed for graceful living
It has quite a reputation
We're terribly House and Garden
At number seven-B
We live in a most amusing muse
Ever so very contemporary
We're terribly House and Garden
The money that one spends
To make a place that won't disgrace
Our House and Garden friends
We've planned an uninhibited interior decor
Curtains made of straw
We've wallpapered the floor
We don't know if we like it
but at least we can be sure
There's no place like Home Sweet Home
It's fearfully Maison Jardin
At number seven-B
We've rediscovered the chandelier
Tres tres very contemporary
We're terribly House and Garden
Now at last we've got the chance
The garden's full of furniture
And the house is full of plants!
It doesn't make for comfort
But it simply has to be
'Cause we're ever so terribly up-to-date
Contemp-or-ar-or-y!
Have you a home that cries out to your every
visitor
"Here lives someone who is exciting to know"?
No?
Well, why not
collect those little metal bottle-
tops
and nail them upside-down to the floor?
This will
give the sensation
of walking
on little metal bottle-tops turned upside-down
Why not
get hold of an ordinary Northumbrian
spokeshaver's coracle?
Paint it in contrasting stripes
of, say
