Tony leaves the depot late

Seventeen years with the Unigate

Drives his float down Goswall Road

At twenty-five to eight

Number nine, Mrs Doris Brown

Pulls on her quilted dressing gown

Shuts the fridge and boils the kettle

Wipes the table down

La la la la la la

Just as she pours the tea

She's whistling randomly

A milk bottle symphony

Milk bottle symphony

Number twelve, there's Amy Chan

Writing down a line for the candy man

About the time she saw Tom Baker

Drinking down the Hat And Fan

The man next door is Gary Stead

Shuffles downstairs with a heavy head

Scans the paper, takes a pill

And stumbles back to bed

La la la la la la

Didn't get home 'til three

Singing appallingly

A milk bottle symphony

A milk bottle symphony

Emily Roe's at thirty-one

Twenty minutes left to get her homework done

Leaves her cornflakes on the sofa

Says goodbye to mum

La la la la la la

Jumps on a forty-three

Humming unconsciously

A milk bottle symphony

Milk bottle symphony
