Design For Living (New Master)
Design for living when we started making money when we started making friends We found a home as soon as we were able to We bought this bijou residence for about a thousand more than the house our little house was once the stable to
With charm Colour values Wit And structural alteration Now designed for graceful living It has quite a reputation
We're terribly House and Garden At number seven-B We live in a most amusing muse Ever so very contemporary
We're terribly House and Garden The money that one spends To make a place that won't disgrace Our House and Garden friends
We've planned an uninhibited interior decor Curtains made of straw We've wallpapered the floor We don't know if we like it but at least we can be sure There's no place like Home Sweet Home
It's fearfully Maison Jardin At number seven-B We've rediscovered the chandelier Tres tres very contemporary
We're terribly House and Garden Now at last we've got the chance The garden's full of furniture And the house is full of plants!
It doesn't make for comfort But it simply has to be 'Cause we're ever so terribly up-to-date Contemp-or-ar-or-y!
Have you a home that cries out to your every visitor 'Here lives someone who is exciting to know'?

Why not drop in one evening for a mess of pottage? Our speciality just aubergine and carnation petals With a six-shilling bottle of Mielle du Pap a feast fit for a king
I'm delirious about our new cooker fitment with the eye-level grille This means that without my having to bend down the hot fat can squirt straight into my eyes!
We're frightfully House and Garden At number seven-B The walls are patterned with shrunken heads Ever so very contemporary
Our boudoir on the open plan has been a huge success Though everywhere's so open there's nowhere safe to dress!
With little screens and bottle lamps And motifs here and there Mobiles in the air Ivy everywhere! You mustn't be surprised to meet a cactus on the stair But we call it Home Sweet Home
We're terribly House and Garden As I think we've said before But though seven-B is madly gay It wouldn't do for every day We actually live in seven-A In the house next door!
Donald Swann having fortified himself with a glass of water not just plain water water enriched with Strontium 90 is now going to sing you his own modern setting of a mid-19th century poem which he will sing in french
Because this is a french poem it's a french sonnet, actually 14 lines or 1.4 of the new heavy lines it's by the chap who used to go around with a lobster
