As we spiel we have fun
frolicking away
all sunshine, lollipops and rainbows for us
no worry in the world
just having some fun
And as for employment
take it seriously
dedicate our lives doing it properly
we know it’s important
in order to live
Both need job and diddle
happy and content
whatever it is think of it as hobby
don’t forget mental health
have a balance life*
