THE DOME AND TONE

I had a day out at the Millennium Dome,
down in London with my friend Tone.
We took the train to Canary wharfe,
buildings so tall, Tone looked like a dwarf.

Now the Dome was somewhere I wanted to go,
but it's a real waste of time and money you know.
It's naught but a monument to Tony Blair,
with our Lottery money, that's not fair!

I must say, the floorshow was simply tremendous,
and the size of the Dome is just stupendous!
I joined a queue to see "The Millennium Jewels,"
but they were replicas, and made us look fools!

"The Body Zone" drew the biggest queue,
but I only saw there what I already knew.
Trailing around was a bit of a drag,
and in the Dome, you can't have a fag!

We left the kids with burgers and coke,
while Tone and me went out for a smoke.
Around the Dome, all around outside,
there's a little train that gives you a ride.

Now the Dome's OK is you don't mind queues,
and the rain from the roof flushes all the Domes' loos!
At lunch, you're lucky to find a table,
The Millennium Dome is our Tower of Babel!
