KEEP YOUR COUNTRY TIDY (Pete Ham)

Keep your country tidy
Keep rubbish off the floor
Poor old Mother Nature
Can't take it anymore
Leave things as you find them
It's not hard to do
If your country's tidy
So are you

Keep your lover happy
Keep evil from your door
And when you think you've given
Then give her even more
Don't forget the small things
They're not hard to do
Keep your lover happy
Just for you

Take me away to that beautiful day I remember
Cool me down, move me 'round, cool me down
Wish I could stay from beginning of May 'til September
Cool me down, bring me 'round, cool me down

Keep your lover happy
Keep evil from your door
And when you think you've given
Then give her even more
Don't forget the small things
They're not hard to do
Keep your lover happy
Just for you
