News:
A well-known Bognor restaurant-owner
Disappeared early this morning
Last seen in a mouse-brown overcoat
Suitably camouflaged
They saw him catch a train
Man-in-the-street:
"Father of three its disgusting"
"Such a horrible thing to do"
Harold the Barrel cut off his toes
And he served them all for tea
"Can't go far", "He can't go far"
"Hasn't got a leg to stand on"
"He can't go far"
Man-on-the-spot:
I'm standing in a doorway on the main square
Tension is mounting
There's a restless crowd of angry people
Man-on-the-council:
"More than we've ever seen
Had to tighten up security"
Over to the scene at the town hall
The Lord Mayor's ready to speak
LORD MAYOR:
"Man of suspicion, you can't last long
The British Public is on our side"
BRITISH PUBLIC:
"Can't last long"
"You can't last long"
"Said you couldn't trust him
His brother was just the same"
"You can't last long"
HAROLD:
If I was many miles from here
I'd be sailing in an open boat on the sea
Instead I'm on this window ledge
With the whole world below
Up at the window
Look at the window...
Mr. Plod: "We can help you"
Plod's Chorus: "We can help you"
Mr. Plod: "We're all your friends,
If you come on down and talk to us son"
HAROLD: You must be joking
Take a running jump
The crowd was getting stronger
And our Harold getting weaker
Forwards, backwards, swaying side to side
Fearing the very worst
They called his mother to the sight
Upon the ledge beside him
His mother made a last request
67-Yr-old-Mrs Barrel:
"Come off the ledge if your father were alive
He'd be very, very, very upset "
"Just can't jump, you just can't jump"
"Your shirt's all dirty, there's a man from the BBC."
"You just can't jump"
Mr. Plod: "We can help you"
Plod's Chorus: "We can help you"
Mr. Plod: "We're all your friends,
If you come on down and talk to us Harry"
HAROLD: You must be joking
Take a running jump...
