One-One-One

Well, I got a giddy aunt
And she's eaten all the Battenberg cake now
And watering the plants I stepped
Upon the garden rake (ow)
Could someone explain to me how it is
You make a milk-shake now?
I'd best call 1-1-1
Till somebody takes the problem away

Well, I spilled a bit of salt
And isn't this a superstition?
If I press CONTROL and ALT together
What will be the position?
And I voted Lib Dem but all I got
Is known as Coalition –
I'd best call 1-1-1
Till somebody takes the problem away

Well, tell me what you need
If you want to keep your axle grease cool
What's the going rate if you
Want to buy a brand new beach-boule?
And why'd you have to pay
If you say you're gonna start a free school?
I'd best call 1-1-1
Till somebody takes the problem away

One-One-One

County Durham and the borough of – where else? – Darlington are to try out a new 'not-such-an emergency' number, 111. This is partly in response to the high number of dim and pointless enquiries sent to 999. In the past these have included asking for the date, and being distressed because the caller didn't know where Homebase was.

With apologies to The Beach Boys and their Fun, Fun, Fun
