The Lift door open and out steps the first of the employees of the Heavenly Store
He was in his Seventies when he stepped into the lift
"Damn cold weather" he muttered
And so the first of the Seven has arrived
"I'm free"
He called as Mr Grainger called him
And the effeminate joined the ranks
"Clunk, Clang"
"Oh damn the lift's stuck again"
And the saucy Miss Brahms womanned the Lingerie Counter
Here was Mrs Slocombe now to join the ranks
"I've had to thaw my pussy out it was frozen solid"
The Fifth now usually late has arrived before time
"Morning Mr Grainger"
"Morning Mr Lucas"
And so the Fifth arrived
Tall, commanding and proud
That was what the figure descending the Stairs looked like
Now Captain Peacock was at his metaphorical helm.
All had arrived to early at the beautiful Grace Brother's in the sky
Remember them as they were not as they are now and they will live on in the adoring hearts of fans the world over
