A                   D   E             A 
Found a nice little cove where nobody else goes 
                       D 
Took a trip 'round the Caves of Drach 
               E 
And said 'It's good to explore the more cultural aspects'. 
A            D     E                A 
Hedley Verityesque, she passed into folklore 
                         D 
Trod on the lines in the pavement 
                     E 
And said 'There's no room for enigmas in built-up areas'. 
C                        Am

And I don't see any more, I don't see any more pent up Alsatians 
                         D 
They used to wait by the door 
              E 
And say 'It's nice to know you're here, it's nice to know you're here'.

I'll be with Ayshea soon, be with Ayshea soon

Brakes fail in the rain down memory lane 
Dm                               E

A                   D                     E              A 
And I don't see any more, I don't see any more big mad Alsatians 
                         D 
They used to wait by the door 
               E 
And sing 'It's nice to know you're here, it's nice to know you're here'. 
A                    D                      E                 A

The handclapping sequence at the end of Blockbusters 

When all of the audience try to convince themselves 

That what they're doing is silly but acceptable 
                                    E7     A 
And the only thing I can say is 'Oh Kip Keino'.
