Blokes 'ErbA
Do you know 'Erb Now there's a dinkum sportB
If football's on your mind why 'Erb's the sortB
To put you wise It's his whole end and' aimC
Keen He's as keen as mustard on the gameC
Football is in his blood He thinks an' schemesD
All through the season talks of it an' dreamsD
An' eats an' sleeps with football on his mindE
Yes 'Erb's a sport the reel whole hearted kindE
-
'A healthy manly sport ' That's wot 'Erb saysF
You ought to see his form on football daysG
Keyed up reel eager eyes alight with joyH
Full of wise schemes for his team to employH
Knows all about it how to kick a goalI
An' wot to do if they get in a holeI
Enthusiasm Why when 'Erb gets setJ
He is a sight you couldn't well forgetJ
-
There ain't a point about it he don't knowK
All of the teams and players top to toeK
The rules the tricks it's marvellous the wayL
He follers Wot Good Lord no he don't playL
'Erb Playin' football Blimey have a heartM
Aw don't be silly 'Erb don't have to playL
He knows more than them players any dayL
-
He's never had a football in his handN
'Cept once when it was kicked up in the standN
No 'Erb ain't never played he only sitsO
An' watches 'em an' yells an' hoots and splitsO
His sides with givin' mugs some sound adviceP
An' tellin' umpires things wot ain't too niceP
Aw look your ejication ain't completeQ
Till you know 'Erb You reely ought to meetQ
-
Blokes FredR
Do you know Fred Now there's a man to knowK
These days when politics are in the airS
An' argument is bargin' to an' froK
Without a feller gittin' anywhereS
Fred never argues he's too shrewd for thatT
He's wise He knows the game from A to ZU
All politics is talkin' thro' the hatT
An' everyone is wrong exceptin' FredR
-
Fred says there ain't no sense in politicsV
Says he can't waste his time on all that rotW
Trust him He's up to all their little tricksV
You'd be surprised the cunnin' schemes he's gotW
Fred says compulsory voting is a cowX
He has to vote or else he would be finedE
But he just spoils his paper anyhowX
An' laughs at' em with his superior mindE
-
But when a law comes in that hits Fred's purseY
You ought to hear him then Say he does rouseZ
Kicks up an awful row an' hurls his curseY
On every bloomin' member in the HouseZ
He gives 'em nothin' says they all are crookA2
All waitin' for a chance to turn their coatsB2
Says they are traitors proves it by the bookA2
An' can you wonder that he never votesB2
-
Aw say you must know Fred You'll hear his skiteE
Upon street corners all about the placeC2
An' if you up an' say it serves him rightE
He answers that it only proves his caseC2
Them politicians wouldn't tax him soK
Unless they were all crooked like he saidE
Where is the sense in votin' when they goK
An' rob a man like that Hurray for FredE
-
Blokes GusD2
Do you know Gus Now he should interest youE2
The girls adore him or he thinks they doE2
He owns a motor bike not of the sortE
That merely cough a little bit or snortE
His is a fiery detonating steedE
That makes the town sit up and take some heedE
A thunderous thing that booms and roars a treatE
With repercussions that awake the streetE
-
That's Gus Dead flash One of the rorty boysF2
Whose urge is to express themselves with noiseF2
He wakes the midnight echoes when to sleepG2
We vainly strive with detonations deepG2
And Gus has visions as he thunders byA
Of maidens who sit up in bed and sighA
'It's Gus It's Gus the he man What a thrillH2
'Mid Jovian thunders riding up the hill '-
-
You can't blame Gus He has to make a rowK
He's got to get publicity somehowX
How else could he stir consciousness in usD2
That in this world there really is a GusD2
You can't blame Gus But oft I long in bedE
That some kind man would bash him on the headE
A hard swift blow to give him pain for painI2
It would be quite safe It couldn't hurt his brainI2
-
Blokes BertE
Did you ever meet Bert 'E's all over the townJ2
In offices shops an' in various placesK2
Cocky an' all an' you can't keep 'im downJ2
I never seen no one so lucky at racesK2
Backs all the winners or very near allL2
Tells you nex' day when the races are overM2
'E makes quite a pot for 'is wagers ain't smallL2
An' by rights 'e 'ad ought to be livin' in cloverM2
-
But some'ow or other aw well I dunnoK
You got to admit that some fellers is funnyU
'E don't dress too well an' 'is spendin' is lowK
I can't understand wot 'e does with 'is moneyU
'E ought to be sockin' a pretty fair shareS
An' tho' 'e will own 'e's a big money makerM2
'E don't seem to save an' 'e don't seem to careS
If 'e owes a big wad to 'is butcher an' bakerM2
-
'E don't tell you much if you meet on the courseN2
But after it's over 'e comes to you grinnin'U
Shows you 'is card where 'e's marked the first 'orseN2
An' spins you a wonderful tale of 'is winnin'U
Can't make 'im out 'e's so lucky an' thatE
Knows ev'ry owner an' trainer an' jockeyU
But all of 'is wagerin's done on 'is patE
Won't spill a thing even tho' 'e's so cockyU
-
Oyster that's Bert 'E's as close as a bookA2
But sometimes I've come on 'im sudden an' saw 'imC
Lip 'angin' down an' a reel 'aggard lookA2
Like all the woes in the world come to gnaw 'imC
But soon as 'e sees you 'e brightens right upO2
'Picked it again lad ' 'e sez to you grinnin'U
'A fiver at sevens I 'ad in the CupO2
That's very near sixty odd quid that I'm winnin' '-
-
Mystery man that's 'is style for a certE
Picks the 'ole card yet 'e's shabby and seedyE
'E must 'ave some sorrer in secrit ole BertE
Some drain on 'is purse wot is keepin' 'im needyE
A terrible pity Some woman no doubtE
No wonder 'e worries in secrit an' sousesN2
If I 'ad 'is winnin's year in an' year outE
Why I'd own a Rolls Royce an' a terris of 'ousesN2
