Time to Spare

If you’re ever down in Morningside and you’ve got time to spare,  

Take a trip to the Open Door.  You’ll find the good times there. 

They’re looking for some volunteers,  and you’re just what they need 

So if you’ve got time then come on down.  Satisfaction’s guaranteed.

 

All they’re asking is some time to run their show along,  

They’ve been doing it for forty years  and it’s a lot of fun.  

It’s respite for the carers  of folk with special needs,  

It’s time for fun so come on down.  Satisfaction’s guaranteed.

 

Ask what will it do for me in these much darker times,  

You could put it down on your CV, among your other crimes.  

And you’ll get a reference, in case you ever need one,  

Or it could just be a hobby.  It’s an awful lot of fun.
