Captain
of the EPS
When
I was a lad with a smile so sweet I
took a little walk along Great King Street
I
moved the chairs and I swept the floor
And
I polished up the handle on the big front door.
I
polished up the handle with such finesse
That
now I am the captain of the E P S.
I
went again and they said to me
You’re
just the sort of fellow who can make the tea
I
made the tea, no-one asked for more,
It
tasted like you’ve never tasted tea before.
I
poured that tea like a good hostess
And
now I am the captain of the E P S.
I
went once more and a voice said “You”
We’ve
got another little job for you to do
If
they come late, you let them in
The
ringing of the bell, it makes an awful din.
I
opened the door with such success
That
now I am the captain of the E P S.
I
entered a print, I entered a slide
And
when I heard the judge I had to go outside.
You
could trim this here, you could burn this in
But
I think you’d better put it in the refuse bin.”
He
thought my pictures were quite useless
That’s
why they made me captain of the E P S
So
if you make tea, and sweep the floor,
And
polish up the handle on the big front door -
If
you do this and you do that
And
stay behind for tea and have a little chat,
If
you take pictures without success
Then
you all may be captains of the EPS
