Willy Nilly

Willy nilly I will be there,

with the olive branch,

when the sword of Damocles is there.

 

Willy nilly I will be there,

with a bird's eye view,

when they try to square the circle.

 

Willy nilly I will be there,

to crack a joke hither and thither,

when they throw cold water on you.

 

Willy nilly I will be there,

as your bosom friend,

when they add fuel to the fire.

 

Willy nilly I will be there,

to disclose the home truth,

when they build castle in the air.

 

Willy nilly I will be there,

as the you in you that cost the earth,

when you fly off the handle.

 

Willy nilly I will be there,

to bury the hatchet and to break the leg,

when your heart is wrong and mind is right.
