Lyrics Lyrics (want a gold star?)

We're only making plans for Nigel
We only want what's best for him

And if young Nigel says he's happy
He must be happy
He must be happy in his work
Nigel is not outspoken
But he likes to speak
And loves to be spoken to
Nigel is happy in his work
We're only making plans for Nigel
