[Music]

daydreaming

you made me jump

looks as though we're in for a storm

yes

are you all right yes

what's his name dora my warrior

no that's the name we called him when he

came here what was it before that well

we don't know do we no

do you know where he came from he was a

stray don't you remember yes

you're very fond of warrior aren't you

yes

but he

gives you the creeps yes

that's different no it isn't

why is it different

he's human he can look after himself you

know that do you well no but

you know it's a funny thing but when

anyone hears of an animal being in need

unwanted nowhere to go

they get all hot under the collar and

write to the papers about it

but there are lonely unwanted people too

but nobody seems to care

it's not any horses that need kindness

you know

oh well i must be off

see you in the morning

i think he knows who mr she knows is

then why doesn't he tell us

perhaps he wants to keep it a secret

we've got one from him

we're not telling him about dancer we're

going to when we're ready

perhaps he'll do the same

look for instance

suppose mr she knows has had something

really awful happened to him

perhaps he doesn't want anybody to talk

about it

you mean like his wife dying something

like that

yeah

could be that glory is the last thing in

the world he cares about

now he's found her again

well i hope someone tells us soon it's

getting on my nerves not knowing who he

really is

oh we made a guess

that'll do for now

let's go do some work and dance right

troops in today oh
