my aunt made the beds for bill knott
when he lived in his broom road house
long afore he was a millionaire
he built his caravan empire
just by alderney
just up the road from me
he started selling bootlaces
just up parkstone
which locals we called up on hill
he was a normal sorta guy
everyone called him bill
his caravans they sold the world
he was a famous man
he called it bluebirds caravans
he didn't look like a famous millionaire
though it was 1963
he called in whilst i was painting
just to chat with me
he was a short built guy
he had that common touch
though he had a yacht n speedboat
he really was too much
they made a film about him
showed it at the flicks
along with Betty Grable
and the cowboy Thomas mix
his caravans were many kinds
plus horse boxes and vans
yeah he came from newtown
he was a very extra ordinary sorta man
