The Man with a Plan

I heard a vicious rumour, that you were a child star
Was it a Swallow or an Amazon, I never knew that before
I heard your something of an optimist, British Champion in fact
And you never get lost or lose your way
Cos you're always on your OS Map App
Hey Man with the Bamboo Clothes
How is it that you always know which way to go
Hey Man in the Bamboo suit
Why won't you drink coffee from a tall glass flute
Why do you insist on having bone china?
When we go out, I never fear, trig point happy you're an orienteering
Kind who knows the height of every mountain
Knows the depth of every stream
Hey Man with the Bamboo Clothes
How is it that you always know which way to go
Hey Man in the Bamboo suit
Why won't you drink coffee from a tall glass flute
Why do you insist on having bone china?
And preferably a mug
When you were young, I'm led to understand
You liked to party every day
You'd plan and make decision, with military precision
From the choice of wine to each canape
He loves every point on a compass, but 270 is best cos that's West
And in any type of examination he always passes the test
Mr Sustainable, running to work, it doesn't matter how far
He's done the math, plotted all the routes
And he knows what he can get from his electric car
Mapped against the route elevation, age of battery
And various environmental scenarios and conditions
Hey Man with the Bamboo Clothes
How is it that you always know which way to go
Hey Man in the Bamboo suit
Why won't you drink coffee from a tall glass flute
Why do you insist on having bone china?
Preferably a mug
And preferably with frothy milk!
And I know you like a Saturday parkrun
Well organised it's your kind of thing
And a properly attenuated dimmer switch can really
Really, really make your heart sing
Hey Man in the Bamboo Clothes
How is it that you always know which way to go
Hey Man in the Bamboo suit
Why won't you drink coffee from a tall glass flute
Hey Man with the Bamboo Clothes
How is it that you always know which way to go
Hey Man in the Bamboo suit
Why won't you drink coffee from a tall glass flute
Why do you insist on having bone china?
