Down on Festive Road

The children will play

And never will know

That when Mr Benn

Of Number 52

Walks in through that door

Peculiar events will ensue

The shopkeeper peers

Through spectacles round

As Benn wanders in

And shuts out the town

The shopkeeper wears his customary grin

'Cos he knows when they go

To try on his clothes

Each fantasy chosen begins
