Twice upon a time in the valley of tears

 An auctioneer is biding for a box of fading years

 And the elephants are dancing on the graves of squearling mice

Anyone for tennis wouldn't that be nice.

 And the ice-creams are all melting on the streets of bloody beer,

 While the beggars stain the pavements with florescent Christmas cheer

 And the Bentley driving guru is putting up his price

Anyone for tennis wouldn't that be nice.

 And the prophets in the boutiques give out messages of hope

 With jingle bells and fairy tales and blind colliding scopes

 and you can tell they're all the same underneath the pretty lights

Anyone for tennis wouldn't that be nice.

 The yellow Buddhist monk is burning brightly at the zoo

 You can bring a bowl of rice and then a glass of water too,

 and fate is setting up the chess-board while death rolls out the dice

Anyone for tennis wouldn't that be nice.
