I’ve been strolling down my favourite lane
And I’ve been bowling my left-arm occasionals again
Life gets sweeter the more that I understand
The flora and the fauna and the hedgerows
Abound in this land
Monday morning the field paths are calling my name
No storm warning is going to stop me setting out again
You could join me
My flask is full to the brim
And let’s face it it beats skulking round the 7” import section with him
I’m keeping my feet above the mulch of the bottom with song
A drink and a four-handed reel as I ramble along
Let’s hear it for the brakeman without him I would have to find more words
Yodal-leyheeeee
I’ve been goading D-list Paul Ross for a laugh
By unloading outside what he would call his “gaff”
Old fridge-freezers doors all removed like we’re told
His face at the window on waking a sight to behold
I’m keeping my feet above the mulch….Etc
And now the notes taken from www.hmhb.co.uk
"keeping my feet above the mulch of the barton" First sentence of Phase the Third, Chapter 2 of Tess of the d'Urbervilles (Thomas Hardy) reads, "The dairymaids and men had flocked down from their cottages and out of the dairy-house with the arrival of the cows from the meads; the maids walking in pattens, not on account of the weather, but to keep their shoes above the mulch of the barton.".
Four-handed reel Morris dance.
Brakeman Jimmie Rodgers was "The Singing Brakeman" - he'd obviously put a few words in with the yodelling as well.
Paul Ross Jonathon's brother, seems to present a variety of inane quiz shows on the telly as well as the Talk Radio Weekend Breakfast show.

God I love this.
It renders Paul Ross's very existence way way less pointless.
Hee hee......less pointless. I like
