Now you must’ve seen Blue Peter, that television prog
That used to have the brave John Noakes and Shep the trusting dog
But is he really trusting when the cameras start to roll
He wanders round the studio and brave John starts to call
Get down, Shep, keep still boy
Do as you’re told, come here
Get down, Shep, behave yourself
Or I’ll cuff you round the ear
John could never be alone, no matter where he went
’Cause Shep would have a sniff around and soon pick up his scent
I’m here at the top of the Eiffel Tower, and er… get down, Shep
Now Shep was very clever, he knew just when to beg
One day they forgot to feed him so he bit the producer’s leg
He chased the cats around the floor and no-one came to help
Except the handsome, big, brave John and he began to yell
Get down, Shep, keep still boy
Do as you’re told, come here
Get down, Shep, behave yourself
Or I’ll cuff you round the ear
John could never be alone, no matter where he went
’Cause Shep would have a sniff around and soon pick up his scent
By jove, I’ve just jumped out of this aeroplane at fifty thousand feet
and er… get down, Shep
Now brave John likes adventure, there’s nowhere he ain’t been
But he had an invitation to go and see the Queen
Her Majesty was just about to say “arise, Sir John”
But who should walk into the room, you’ve guessed it, that’s the one
Get down, Shep, keep still boy
Do as you’re told, come here
Get down, Shep, behave yourself
Or I’ll cuff you round the ear
John could never be alone, no matter where he went
’Cause Shep would have a sniff around and soon pick up his scent
Shep, come ‘ere, lad.
Put that sceptre down, it’s not a bone, ya know and stop playing with the corgis
Shep, don’t you dare do that ‘ere, Shep
Come on, there’s a boy
Woof
Get down
