lyrics

(dear Dave!)

She has written him a letter and she's posted it as well
Two pages, blue ink, and she signed it with her name
She has told him about rationing and what her mother did
And she has asked him if he thinks that soup is dangerous

Dear Dave (Dear Dave)
It actually starts Dear Dave
Eighty-one years old, Dear Dave
Dear Dave

Dear Dave, Dear Dave, Dear Dave, Dear Dave
Security at terminal two has got a letter coming
Dear Dave, Dear Dave, Dear Dave, Dear Dave
And I would pay good money to be there when it lands

He wrote back. Dave wrote back. On headed paper.
He said he was sorry and he'd have done the same for his gran.
She has put it on the fridge. Dave is on the fridge now.
(BAND EXPLODES)

Dear Dave, Dear Dave, Dear Dave, Dear Dave
Security at terminal two has got a letter coming
Dear Dave, Dear Dave, Dear Dave, Dear Dave
And I would pay good money to be there when it lands

(Dave's on the fridge!)
