This is called "Not home today"
She says he's gone away on a short holiday
He won't be back for a while
The 12 from the bench stood up
And hesitated he'll be leaving right after this trial
Circumstance, evidence who can cheat providence
He wished he could go back again
A flick of the wrist he wished that he missed
Not guilty is all he can say
Pass 'round the gossip now let's wait and see
Pass 'round the tray now let's have some tea
My boys haven't seen him, he's been working away
Don't bother asking, he's not home today, not home today
T-shirts and badges with free tickles and smudges
In the end you'll believe what you feel
When ten hands are aiming and no-one is blaming
In a sense it could be more real
Pass 'round the gossip now let's wait and see
Pass 'round the tray now let's have some tea
My boys haven't seen him, he's been working away
Don't bother asking, he's not home today, not home today
She says he's gone away on a short holiday
He won't be back for a while
The 12 from the bench stood up
And hesitated he'll be leaving right after this trial
Circumstance, evidence who can cheat providence
He wished he could go back again
A flick of the wrist he wished that he missed
Not guilty is all he can say
Pass 'round the gossip now let's wait and see
Pass 'round the tray now let's have some tea
My boys haven't seen him, he's been working away
Don't bother asking, he's not home today, not home today
T-shirts and badges with free tickles and smudges
In the end you'll believe what you feel
When ten hands are aiming and no-one is blaming
In a sense it could be more real
Pass 'round the gossip now let's wait and see
Pass 'round the tray now let's have some tea
My boys haven't seen him, he's been working away
Don't bother asking, he's not home today, not home today
