A tribute to the ultimate DIY & maintenance guy.

lyrics

Alfonzo be a darling if you can find time today
repaint the lines on the tennis court and blow the leaves away
Put out the balls and rackets, and wind the net up tight
I’ve got the ladies from the bridge club round for drinks at six tonight
Oh no we don’t play tennis, why, you dgave me such a fright
but one does like to cultivate the impression that one might.

Alfonzo be a sweetheart, will you clean the swimming pool?
in the Summer House you’ll find a hose and a little sucky tool
and maybe spread some towels around though we’ve never used one yet
Well they’re Egyptian cotton dear, we do try not to get them wet
oh no we don’t go swimming, why, I’m not sure that I could
but one does like to cultivate the impression that one would.

Alfonzo be a treasure if you’re not run off your feet
perhaps a coat of varnish on the outside dining suite
and maybe stack some firewood by the pizza oven too
Yes I know we never use it, but it should look as if we do.
No, we never dine alfresco, there are ants and things that buzz
but one does like to cultivate the impression that one does.
