It was such a shame,
Such a shame we said yes,
Said yes to our friends.
They asked us to dog sit,
Dog sit for a weekend.
They were very good friends,
So we said yes.
We arrived on the Friday Evening,
They were going early on Saturday.
Such a shame we said yes.
Two fine dogs greeted us,
So laid back no trouble,
But the house was the problem.
It was a six bedroom house,
A Kentish farmhouse.
Such a shame we said yes.
Our room was on the second floor.
Large bedroom,
Picture window looking over the land,
We had to walk through the dressing room
Just to get to the huge bathroom.
We sat down to dinner with them
That Friday night,
A wonderful meal.
Such shame we said yes.
Off they went and we were left there,
We decided we had to do something.
We could always play table tennis,
The table was there in the games room.
Or we could go swimming,
Well there was a large swimming pool outside,
Outside next to the tennis court.
Such a shame we said yes.
We could always walk through the forest,
The forest they had on their land.
I know I would cook something,
Into the kitchen I went,
A kitchen so big,
So big that you could hold a ball there.
But there were no dancers today,
Only me and my wonderful wife,
And the dogs.
To dance and sway to the music.
Such a shame we said yes.
