Catch the bus by half past three   Otherwise you'll find you're walking home   The forecast is for rain   Two week in an awkward squeeze   He just ignores the phone and turns   The T.V. up when he gets in      My favourite thing has gone away   And I know it won't be easy now - But I'll manage somehow   I stole his shoes and ran away   Trying jolly hard to see if we can catch him round the bend   Oh no!      Back in your garden feel the rain   Hear the pitter and the patter   Hear the clock as time ticks by   You told me to get some help   Well help yourself just help yourself   I'm not the only one who feels this way      My favourite thing has gone away   And I know it won't be easy now - but I'll manage somehow   I stole his shoes and ran away   Trying jolly hard to see if we can catch him round the bend   Oh no!      My favourite thing has gone away   And I know it won't be easy now - but I'll manage somehow   I stole his shoes and ran away   Trying jolly hard to see if we can catch him round the bend   Oh no
