Intro :
M r Briggs is on holiday but h e stays in his room

Then s lowly drift aw ay
To s omewheeee re
O o oo ooh

M r Briggs needs sleep now; he's b een up for a week
H e can hear a bu zz buzz buzzing in his head
He h as a three-bar heater but i t don't keep him warm

Say goodb ye
Then s lowly drift aw ay
To s omewheeee re
O o oo ooh

W alked around in c ircles but o nly in his head

Say goodb ye
Then s lowly drift aw ay
To s omewheeee re
