## Pioneer Who needs jungles for excitement? Climbing mountains, fording streams? Risking life and limb in London's Quite enough for me Pebble-dash to scrape your elbows Paving slabs to graze your knees Kerbs and gutters turn your ankles Quite enough for me Trucks that thunder down the street The car that never seems to see A cyclist or a zebra crossing's Quite enough for me And in the park there's stinging nettles Clawing roses file-barked trees Dogs and what they leave behind, it's Quite enough for me And vicious beasts I've got as well A cat that spits and brings in fleas With spiders prowling round the bath, that's Quite enough for me So keep your tigers, sharks, piranhas I'll just stay in Palmer's Green Being bold in our back garden's Quite enough for me.
