Lyrics:
When geese go shopping, what do they want? Oilskins?
When geese go shopping, oilskins are out.

When geese go shopping with escalator music,
they’re going up in the scale of things. Escalation.

There was a time, so long ago,
in nineteen sixty four,
there was a time when geese didn’t need Department Stores.
Geese didn’t need Department stores!

Now, on the other wing,
they build their nest with catalogues.
Catalogues for God’s sake! Catalogues!

There’s no shredding of evidence,
no rhyme or rhythm in their flight
when geese fly past, fly past,
fly past the bustling queues of sheep,
over the departmental heads below,
and are first in . . . Honkeys!

Choirs of geese these days
need throat lozenges,
after a hard days flight to the shops.

There was a time, so long ago,
in nineteen sixty four,
there was a time when geese didn’t need Department stores.

Oh, you silly goose. What’s your favourite
your very favourite lift . . music?
