After a few minutes he had got through half a cooked chicken, four sausage rolls and a large slice of leftover chocolate cake. It wasn't so much a slumbersnack as a full course meal.

I'm a slumbersnack and I'm okay I eat all night and I work all day He's a slumbersnack and he's okay He eats all night and he works all day (couldn't resist the Monty Python reference)

I cut down trees,I wear high heels, suspenders and a bra; I wish I'd been a girlie, just like my old Papa! No, I don't remember it or the Mountie back-up singers at all...
