| Made a lightning trip to Vienna |
| Eating chocolate cake in a bag |
| The newspapers said, "She's gone to his head |
| They look just like two gurus in drag" ...CHORUS |
| Caught the early plane back to London |
| Fifty acorns tied in a sack |
| The men from the press say "We wish you success |
| It's good to have the both of you back"...CHORUS |
