[00:11.56]Uncle Goodenberg was a bookworm
[00:15.38]And he lived on Charring Cross
[00:17.62]The memory of his volumes brings a smile
[00:21.90]He would read me lots of stories
[00:24.27]When he wasn't on the sauce
[00:26.77]Now I'd like to share the wisdom
[00:29.33]Of my favourite bibliophile
[00:33.54]He said a
[00:37.85]Cover is not the book
[00:39.49]So open it up and take a look
[00:41.41]Cause under the cover one discovers
[00:43.61]That the king maybe a crook
[00:45.64]Chapter titles are like signs
[00:47.57]And if you read between the lines
[00:49.53]You'll find your first impression was mistook
[00:53.53]For a cover is nice
[00:54.91]But a cover is not the book
[00:59.88]Mary Poppins, could you give us an example
[01:02.58]Certainly
[01:05.59]Nelly Rebitta was made of wood
[01:07.53]But what could not be seen was though
[01:09.61]A trunk up top was barren
[01:11.34]While her roots were lush and green
[01:13.33]So in Spring when Mr Hickery saw her
[01:15.69]Blossoms blooming there
[01:17.41]He took fruit despite her bark
[01:19.15]And now there's seedlings everywhere
[01:21.22]Which proves that
[01:22.53]A cover is not the book
[01:24.60]So open it up and take a look
[01:26.20]'Cause under the cover one discovers
[01:28.15]That the king maybe a crook
[01:30.00]Chapter titles are like signs
[01:31.89]And if you read between the lines
[01:34.20]You'll find your first impression was mistook
[01:37.92]For a cover is nice
[01:39.32]But a cover is not the book
[01:42.29]Should we do the one about the wealthy widow?
[01:44.20]Ooh, by all means
[01:45.22]Always loved that one
[01:46.43]Well go on then
[01:47.88]Lady Highest of Macaw brought
[01:49.98]All her treasures to a reef
[01:51.73]Where she only wore a smile
[01:53.51]Plus two feathers, and a leaf
[01:55.97]So no one tried to rob her
[01:57.82]'Cause she barely wore a stitch
[01:59.87]For when you're in your birthday suit
[02:01.61]There ain't much there to show you're rich
[02:03.45]Oh, a cover is not the book
[02:05.42]So open it up and take a look
[02:07.38]Cause under the cover one discovers
[02:09.42]That the king maybe a crook
[02:11.31]Tarulalee, tarurala, tarulalee, tara-ta-ta
[02:15.46]You'll find your first impression was mistook
[02:18.24](Ya-da-da-da)
[02:19.38]For a cover is nice
[02:20.47]But a cover is not the book
[02:23.42]Oh give us the one about that dirty rascal
[02:25.48]Why don't ya"
[02:26.28]Isn't that one a bit long?
[02:27.20]Well the quicker you're into it
[02:28.28]The quicker you're out of it"
[02:29.65]Once upon a time
[02:35.44]In a nursery rhyme
[02:36.65]There was a castle with a king
[02:37.72]Hiding in a wing
[02:38.91]'Cause he never went to school to
[02:40.90]Learn a single thing
[02:41.59]He had scepters and swords
[02:42.69]And a parliament of lords
[02:43.77]But on the inside he was sad
[02:44.92]Egad
[02:45.83]Because he never had a wisdom for numbers
[02:47.45]A wisdom for words
[02:48.69]Though his crown was quite immense
[02:49.75]His brain was smaller that a bird's
[02:51.20]So the queen of the nation
[02:52.11]Made a royal proclamation
[02:53.52]To the Missus and the Messers
[02:54.72]The more or lessers
[02:55.68]Bring me all the land's professors"
[02:57.50]Then she went to the hair dressers
[02:58.48]And they came from the east
[02:59.45]And they came from the south
[03:00.77]From each college they poured knowledge
[03:01.98]From their brains into his mouth
[03:03.29]But the king couldn't learn
[03:04.29]So each professor met their fate
[03:05.46]For the queen had their heads removed
[03:06.61]And placed upon the gate
[03:07.83]And on that date
[03:08.91]I state their wives all got a note
[03:10.84]Their mate was now the late great
[03:12.22]But then suddenly one day
[03:13.10]A stranger started in to sing
[03:14.33]He said "I'm the dirty rascal
[03:15.69]And I'm here to teach the king!"
[03:16.97]And the queen clutched her jewels
[03:18.17]For she hated royal fools
[03:19.33]But this fool had some rules
[03:20.62]They really ought to teach in schools
[03:21.69]Like you'll be a happy king
[03:22.71]If you enjoy the things you've got
[03:24.10]You should never try to be
[03:25.29]The kind of person that you're not
[03:26.35]So they sang and they laughed
[03:27.71]For the king had found a friend
[03:28.76]And they ran onto a rainbow for
[03:30.22]The story's perfect end
[03:31.28]So the moral is you mustn't let
[03:32.63]The outside be the guide
[03:33.76]For it's not so cut and dried
[03:34.89]Well unless it's Dr. Jekyll
[03:35.97]Then you better hide
[03:37.60]Petrified
[03:38.21]No, the truth can't be denied
[03:39.61]As I now have testified
[03:41.10]All that really counts and matters
[03:42.36]Is the special stuff inside
[03:45.62]He did it!
[03:49.17]Oh, a cover is not the book
[03:51.40]So open it up and take a look
[03:52.88]'Cause under the cover one discovers
[03:55.27]That the king maybe a crook
[03:57.12]So please listen to what we've said
[03:59.24]And open up a book tonight in bed
[04:01.35]So one more time before we get the host (sing it)
[04:04.96]A cover is nice (Please take our advice)
[04:07.37]A cover is nice (Or you'll pay the price)
[04:09.47]A cover is nice
[04:10.65]But a cover is not the book
