Leo's Friends

[Verse 1] You text us from the sofa saying nearly at the door, Your shoes are in the hallway; you are on series four. We've watched the waitress graduate and buy herself a van, But nobody can hurry up our favourite five-minute man. [Chorus] Five minutes, five minutes, that's your favourite song, We know you're still in slippers when you say you won't be long. We'll save your seat and steal your chips as gently as we can, The party starts whenever our five-minute man arrives. [Verse 2] We told you seven-thirty when the booking was at eight, You arrived at nine with flowers and a fascinating date. There was traffic, then a pigeon, then your neighbour lost a key, Somehow every late arrival ends in you buying our tea. [Bridge] But when my world went sideways on a Tuesday afternoon, You left your dinner on the hob and got there far too soon. No excuses, just your jacket and a space for me to cry, Turns out you know exactly when we need you by our side. [Chorus] Five minutes, five minutes, that's your favourite song, We know you're still in slippers when you say you won't be long. We'll save your seat and steal your chips as gently as we can, The party starts whenever our five-minute man arrives.
