Sunday, ah - the rest and peace unimportant - time These are all my hours to spend with choice and fancy whim and nonchalance For the pleasures of my choice until evening comes

And here for Sunday the sun still has its hat on Hip, hip, hip hooray Golden for autumn it still shines yellow and warm Hip, hip, hip hooray Shining still brightly it stays and it continues Hip, hip, hip hooray

Sometimes days just don’t quite begin
and befuddled it’s usually best
to hand in the towel and lay down the pen
put one’s feet up and have a good rest

And for a Sunday morning
as the day it gathers pace
here’s to lazy lie-ins and
just lounging round the place
Maybe a leisured breakfast
with some music by and by
or just a little wander
when the sun is nice and high
Then curled up on the sofa
Neath warm blankets snuggled we
will while away remaining hours
with something on TV
