about

I was on tour and eating breakfast in the kitchen of my guests many miles from home. The only other person awake was Aiden. He was two and half years old and joyfully pushing his teddy around in a cardboard box. I said: "Aiden, what's your Teddy's name?" When he answered I thought, now that is the title of a great little song.

lyrics

Number Plate Jack

Number plate Jack has my kind of hair
He’s always awake, no breakdown bear
I made him a car with a cardboard box
And push round the house in yesterdays socks

He might have c’s, but he doesn’t have 3’s
And he definitely doesn’t have p’s on his plate
He’s J.A.C.K
Name his numbers
He’s 5, really, 5, 5 and the last ones 8
He’s five hundred and fifty eight.

Number plate Jack is my kind of teddy
He’s always awake, Jack’s always ready
My Dad says he’s not alive before eight!”
So I drive with Jack and I learn to wait

Number Plate Jack is my kind of cuddle
Except the day we drove through the puddle
The sticky on his wheels didn’t like the muck
Oh soggy old Jack and his car got stuck
