Oh no! The kitchen lightbulb's gone Darkness reigns where brightness shone How am I supposed to cook When I can't see the recipe book Ah, but us lads have a trick It's over to the Man Drawer™, quick! Here is where you'll find it all From batteries, flat, to ping pong ball When Spain drops out from the Euro It's got pesetas, don't you know That pesky missing jigsaw piece? The Man Drawer's™ where you'll find release Drawing pins and paperclips Assorted biros and felt tips Though none of these will ever work And that will drive you quite berserk Those menus that dropped thru your door? Safely stashed in the Man Drawer™ Phone numbers gathered years ago From people you don't even know A camera tripod, a remote control The Man Drawer™is a bottomless hole Tickets from a gig you saw Howard Jones, in 1984 And to tell the truth, don't know about you I'll admit to owning two Of all the things the Man Drawer's™ had This one's gonna drive me mad On this occasion, I cannot find A lightbulb, so I'll be cooking blind...
Quite clearly inspired by Michael McIntyre's brilliant Man Drawer routine
