 the gypsy poet

happiest millionaire



      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
