Boris has said get on your "Clever Mike"
But if you’re a bit wobbly, you might need a trike
On 2 wheels or three
Heading to a "Gay and Hearty"

Sorry PH, but isn’t the fourth line meant to rhyme with the third?

Oh come on, it's close enough - must be the Bristolian slang......

It's better than having to hike

Actually I'm a cor blimey Londoner, though not a cockney (I was found in a handbag at Clapham Junction), but I'd never heard Gay and Hearty before...

I'm Welsh for God's Sake... I cheated (it's against the English kind of thing)!

It's not humid, but hot here in Spain
For once I really want it to rain

It's not humid, but hot here in Spain
For once I really want it to rain
Then I’ll go outside, dancing naked

Once the rain has abated
