A friend told me I should write a song about magic peas!!

Song Description

Lyrics

Now Nigel never ate his greens
He only wanted pie and chips and ketchup
So his Mum gave him a plate of peas
And told him he'd get nothing else 'till he ate them all up
Inevitably Nigel had a better idea
So while his mother wasn't looking, he tried to make them disappear
He hid them down his trousers and under his chair
Assuming that those peas would then no longer be there
But they were magic peas!
And they just kept on spreading and multiplying
Magic peas!
And the more those peas appeared the more Nigel was crying

Now Nigel never saw so many peas
They were spilling off the table and filling up the whole room
So his mother said, "Oh Nigel, please!"
"This is getting out of hand! Why don't you just eat some?"
Inevitably Nigel didn't like that idea
But as those peas kept multiplying they reached up to his ears
Some got into his mouth and Nigel swallowed
He thought "ooh, that's quite tasty", and do you know what followed?
They were magic peas!
And Nigel felt just grand! It was electrifying!
Magic peas!
And as his feet came off the ground, next thing Nigel was flying!

Now Nigel flew and whizzed and twirled
He took off out of his house and kept soaring higher
He flew half way around the world
He saw giant waterfalls, and mountains of fire
Inevitably Nigel had to come home finally
He was getting very hungry. It was nearly time for tea
Since there were still quite a lot left, his Mum gave him some peas
He gobbled them all up and said "could I have some more, please?"
'Cos they were magic peas!
They just kept on spreading and multiplying
Magic peas!
Nigel ate them every day, and then Nigel went flying.
