And so the story begins...

Leicester liver, successful scribbler[1],
thought to herself oops my writing's rather funny,
I'm caught in a newsgroup terminally
I'm a professional mistress but my heart's not in it
I'm paying the price of living life at the limit
Caught in the centuries anxiety,
It preys on her, she's getting thin.

She lives in a house, a very big house, in the country,
Watching afternoon repeats and the food she eats in the country,
She takes all manner of sweets and piles up the treats in the country
It's like an animal farm lots of rural charm in the country.

She's bathed in glory, wrote a funny story,
Everything's going jackanory, in touch with her own mortality
She's reading Terry, knocking back sherry,
It's a helping hand that makes you feel bland,
Oh it's last centuries remedy
For the faint at heart, a new start.

She lives in a house, a very big house in the country
She's got a team of slaves so she needs a lot of chains in the country
She doesn't drink no blood, takes baths in mud in the country
Says she's come to no harm on an animal farm in the country.

In the country, in the country

Blow, blow me down I laugh so hard, she made me cry
Blow, blow me down I laugh so hard, she made me cry

She lives in a house, a very big house, in the country,
Watching afternoon repeats and the food she eats in the country,
She takes all manner of sweets and piles up the treats in the country
It's like an animal farm lots of rural charm in the country.
