Bromford's Arc - Part 5 - 12:03 a.m.


Apartment 22 - Thirteenth Floor - right hand side … and we walk all night.

Kylie is still grumpy.

'My apartment', she growls. 'Xenia Xerus called Fortune Cookie? Pah!'

'I do not believe you, either, Dudeford', the llama says with its pouch. 'Fortune cookies sayings are not written by some kind of cookie grandma. They grow on luminescent bushes in damp underground caves and have to be picked by little-handed orange dwarves when they are ripe.'

'May we beg your pardon?' a choir of two asks. 'We are Valeria and Victor Vulture from apartment 22. Have you seen our gnu?'

And way down we go …


"Blind Man In Bromford"

I saw a blind man in Bromford with a box around his neck
And the music box kept singing on and the song I won't forget

It went boomdidi boomdidi boom boom boom boodum boodum boom boom
boomdidi boomdidi boom boom boom boodum boodum boooodum

Well 1 and 2 and 3 and 4 walk past the man so fast
The audience kept moving on ignoring the cast
I found 50 of his currency and dropped it in his tin
He said "When your adventure ends your next one will begin"
When this adventure ends your next one will begin

With a boomdidi boomdidi boom boom boom boodum boodum boom boom
Boomdidi boomdidi boom boom boom boodum boodum boooodum

You'll find a blind man in Bromford with a box around his neck
And the music box keeps singing on and the song you won't forget
The song you won't forget

With a boomdidi boomdidi boom boom boom boodum boodum boom boom
Boomdidi boomdidi boom boom boom boodum boodum boooodum
Boomdidi boomdidi boom boom boom boodum boodum boom boom
Boomdidi boomdidi boom boom boom boodum boodum boooodum
Boomdidi boomdidi boom boom boom boodum boodum boom boom
Boomdidi boomdidi boom boom boom boodum boodum boooodum
