The insect-headed worker-wife will hang her waspies on the
line. She's singing something and simple now this business has
fizzled out. Her tune is such a happy song. Her son is
innocent, he can't do wrong, 'cos Dad's a judge and exactly what
the job of judging's all about. And all the while Graham on,
dreaming of a world where he do just what he wanted to.
Mother and Father (in unison): No in our house, are there dear?
We made clear, we made little Graham promise us he'd be a good
boy. No thugs in our house, are there dear? We that clear, we
made Graham promise us he'd be a good boy.
Mother: No in our house!
No thugs in our house!
Complete (in unison): No thugs in our house, dear!
