May your every train journey
be marred by penetrating voices,
“We’re just going into a tunnel.”
Refrain:  Diddle eee -dee; diddle eee-dee, diddle-eee-dee-dee

May your annual theatre trip
be ruined by a jangling tune
which no-one dares acknowledge
Refrain: Diddle eee -dee; diddle eee-dee, diddle-eee-dee-dee

May the best sex of your life
be interruptus at the climax
by that insistent refrain
Refrain: Diddle eee -dee; diddle eee-dee, diddle-eee-dee-dee

May your son’s only ever solo part
be drowned out by those rising notes
and scrabbling for handbags
Refrain: Diddle eee -dee; diddle eee-dee, diddle-eee-dee-dee

May your once-in-a-lifetime
sunset at the Taj Mahal
be stained by mindless ringing
Refrain:Diddle eee -dee; diddle eee-dee, diddle-eee-dee-dee

May your funeral be punctuated
by jolly, electronic jingles
ushering you to cellular hell
Refrain: Diddle eee -dee; diddle eee-dee, diddle-eee-dee-dee
