The Flim Flams

The Flim Flams wear jimjams

As they dance down the street,

Throwing confetti at people they meet.

Smiling beguilingly, singing their song:

‘Don’t worry, why hurry? Don’t scurry along.

Come prance with us, dance with us, join in the fun.

Throw your cares away, come and play, lie in the sun.

Set yourself free, float in the sea, dig in the sand.

Go with the flow, join in the show, give us your hand

Forget all your troubles, just put them aside.

Jump on our roundabout, come for a ride.

The Flim Flams wear jimjams

As they dance down the street,

Throwing confetti at people they meet.
