This is definitely the best Little Hornet song yet. Great hooks and very
good lyrics. If you?ve seen the clip, you?ll get the words...
A departure from C?mon Mrs Jones and Mr. Lazy cos they?ve written a new
tune :) This song never sounds quite right when played....but grab the
CD and it sounds almost passable. Enjoy....
