Who are the famous Abancs?, they are all around
Would you like to know where they may be found?
To start with, they look very much like you and me
They don’t crawl along the ground or live in a tree
They live in towns and cities or villages by the sea
And appear to live their lives just like you and me
Now we cannot determine exactly who they are
When walking down the street or travelling by car
They can’t be recognised by their looks, that’s true
Only by their actions when certain things they do
It’s not that they’re not clever, quite the reverse
That’s what makes the irony appear so perverse
They understand the theory of complicated things
And offer their advice to us on almost everything
They appear so superior to us the common band
Until the day they’ve a hammer in their hand
A screwdriver or spanner or other tool will do
Their use appears quite simple to me and you
To them it’s a big mystery as to what best to do
Their language at times can turn the air quite blue
They can’t make up a flat pack bookcase from B&Q
And they’ve ruined their best carpet with super glue
Their car’s in their garage, reversed through the door
(They’ve forgotten to open it at least twice before)
They are the Abancs, (they’ve just wrecked my fence)
So why call them Abancs, please don’t feel too dense
Simply it stands for:
"All Brains And No Common Sense."
