Neil Innes
Neil James Innes (born 9 December 1944) is an English writer, comedian and musician, best known for his collaborative work with Monty Python, and for playing in the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band and later The Rutles.
Personal life
Innes was born in Danbury, Essex. He spent much of his childhood with his parents and older brother Iain in post-war Germany during his Scottish father's military assignment as a warrant officer. He took piano lessons from age 7 to 14 and taught himself to play guitar. Neil's parents were supportive of their sons' interests. His father showed some artistic ability as he frequently drew and painted.
He later attended Thorpe Grammar School and the Norwich School of Art. Because Norwich lacked a particular art curriculum in which he was interested, he transferred to Goldsmiths' College, where he majored in drama and met Yvonne Catherine Hilton, whom he married on 3 March 1966. They have three sons, Miles (b. 1967), Luke (b. 1971), and Barney (b. 1977). They have two grandchildren.

Lazy Days
by: Neil InnesNow life can get you down
And make you wear a frown
When you're working your fingers to the bone
So listen close to me;
Here's my recipe
It's easy, you can do it on your own
Simply close your eyes
Imagine paradise
Now you can't go wrong
As you sing this little song
Lazy days will soon be here again
Cares and troubles toodle-oo
No need to hurry, no need to worry
Mr. Bluebird, how-do-you-do
Let the sunshine fill your heart with joy
Boys and girls come out to play
Don't sit and ponder, look over yonder
