lyrics

I was walking, I was in the city,
I was feelin’ kind of grey.
I saw something
That brightened up my day.

‘Twas a statue of Queen Victoria,
She was looking cosy and cool.
Somebody gave her crown and sceptre
Made outta wool.

Lampposts in legwarmers,
Fire Hydrants in socks,
Bike racks in cardigans,
Sculpted luminaries in macraméd jocks.

Knitting Nancy & Spinning Jenny,
They’re at it all o’ the time,
Those Needle Ninjas,
Those Robin Hoods of twine.

Lampposts in legwarmers,
Fire Hydrants in socks,
Bike racks in cardigans,
Sculpted luminaries in macraméd jocks.

Water cooler cosies,
Vases with vests,
Letterboxes with ladders in their stockings
It’s a Woolly Bully handicraft fest.

Knit one, pearl one,
Cast off, cast on,
Cover up the boring and the cast i-ron.

Yarnbomber, yarnbomber
Where there’s a wool there’s a way.
Yarnbomber, thanks for doing what you do.
