Ar wimmin Wot a blinded fool I've beenA
I arsts meself wot else could I ixpeckB
I done me block complete on this DoreenC
An' now me 'eart is broke me life's a wreckB
The dreams I dreamed the dilly thorts I thunkB
Is up the pole an' joy 'as done a bunkB
-
Wimmin O strike I orter known the gameD
Their tricks is crook their arts is all dead snideE
The 'ole world over tarts is all the sameD
All soft an' smilin' wiv no 'eart insideE
But she fair doped me wiv 'er winnin' waysF
Then crooled me pitch fer all me mortal daysF
-
They're all the same A man 'as got to beG
Stric' master if 'e wants to snare 'em sureH
'E 'as to take a stand an' let 'em seeG
That triflin' is a thing'e won't indureH
'E wants to show 'em that 'e 'olds commandI
So they will smooge an' feed out of 'is 'andI
-
'E needs to make 'em feel 'e is the bossJ
An' kid 'e's careless uv the joys they giveK
'E 'as to make 'em think 'e'll feel no lossL
To part wiv any tart 'e's trackin' wivK
That all their pretty ways is crook pretenceL
Is plain to any bloke wiv common senseL
-
But when the birds is nestin' in the springB
An' when the soft green leaves is in the budI
'E drops 'is bundle to some fluffy thingB
'E pays 'er 'omage an' 'is name is MudI
She plays wiv'im an' kids 'im on a treatI
Until she 'as 'im crawlin' at 'er feetI
-
An' then when 'e's fair orf 'is top wiv loveK
When she 'as got 'im good an' 'ad 'er funM
She slings 'im over like a carst orf gloveK
To let the other tarts see wot she's doneM
All vanity deceit an' 'eartless kidI
I orter known an' spare me days I didI
-
I knoo But when I looked into 'er eyesL
Them shinin' eyes o' blue all soft wiv loveK
Wiv MIMIC love they seemed to 'ipnertizeL
I wus content to place 'er 'igh aboveK
I wus content to make of 'er a queenC
An' so she seemed them days O 'struth DoreenC
-
I knoo But when I stroked 'er glossy 'airH
Wiv rev'rint 'ands 'er cheek pressed close to mineN
Me lonely life seemed robbed of all its careH
I dreams me dreams an' 'ope begun to shineN
An' when she 'eld 'er lips fer me to kissL
Ar wot's the use I'm done wiv all o' thisL
-
-
Wimmin Oh I ain't jealous Spare me daysL
Me Jealous uv a knock kneed coot like thatI
'Im Wiv 'is cute stror 'at an' pretty waysL
I'd be a mug to squeal or whip the catI
I'm glad I am glad 'cos I know I'm freeH
There ain't no call to tork o' jealousyH
-
I tells meself I'm well out o' the gameD
Fer look I mighter married 'er an' thenO
Ar strike 'Er voice wus music when my nameD
Wus on 'er lips on them glad ev'nin's whenO
We useter meet An' then to think she'd goB
No I ain't jealous but Ar I dunnoB
-
I took a derry on this stror 'at cootI
First time I seen 'im dodgin' round DoreenC
'Im wiv 'is giddy tie an' Yankee sootI
Ferever yappin' like a tork machineC
About 'The Hoffis' where 'e 'ad a gripP
The way 'e smiled at 'er give me the pipP
-
She sez I stoushed 'im when I promised fairH
To chuck it even to a friendly sparH
Stoushed 'im I never roughed 'is pretty 'airH
I only spanked 'im gentle fer 'is marH
If I'd 'a' jabbed 'im once there would 'a' beenA
An inquest an' I sez so to DoreenC
-
I mighter took an' cracked 'im in the streetI
When she was wiv 'im there lars' Fridee nightI
But don't I keep me temper when we metI
An' don't I raise me lid an' act perliteI
I only jerks me elbow in 'is ribsL
To give the gentle office to 'is nibsL
-
Stoushed 'im I owns I met 'im on the quietI
An' worded 'im about a small affairH
An' when 'e won't put up 'is 'ands to fightI
'E sez 'Fer public brawls 'e didn't care'H
I lays 'im 'cross me knee the mother's joyQ
An' smacks 'im 'earty like a naughty boyQ
-
An' now Doreen she sez I've broke me vowK
An' mags about this coot's pore 'wounded pride '-
An' then o' course we 'as a ding dong rowH
Wiv 'ot an' stormy words on either sideI
She sez I done it outer jealousyH
An' so we parts fer ever 'er an' meH
-
Me jealous Jealous of that cross eyed cowK
I set 'im 'cos I couldn't sight 'is faceL
'Is yappin' fair got on me nerves some'owH
I couldn't stand 'im 'angin' round 'er placeL
A coot like that But it don't matter muchR
She's welkim to 'im if she fancies suchR
-
I swear I'll never track wiv 'er no moreH
I'll never look on 'er side o' the streetI
Unless she comes an' begs me pardin forH
Them things she said to me in angry 'eatI
She can't ixpeck fer me to smooge an' crawlS
I ain't at ANY woman's beck an' callS
-
Wimmin I've took a tumble to their gameD
I've got the 'ole bang tribe o' cliners setI
The 'ole world over they are all the sameD
Crook to the core the bunch of 'em an' yetI
We could 'a' been that 'appy 'er an' meH
But wot's it matter Ain't I glad I'm freeH
-
A bloke wiv commin sense 'as got to ownT
There's little 'appiness in married lifeK
The smoogin' game is better left aloneT
Fer tarts is few that makes the ideel wifeK
An' them's the sort that loves wivout disguiseL
An' thinks the sun shines in their 'usban's' eyesL
-
But when the birds is matin' in the springB
An' when the tender leaves begin to budI
A feelin' comes a dilly sorter thingB
That seems to sorter swamp 'im like a floodI
An' when the fever 'ere inside 'im burnsL
Then freedom ain't the thing fer wot 'e yearnsL
-
But I 'ave chucked it all An' yet I ownT
I dreams me dreams when soft Spring breezes stirsL
An' often when I'm moonin' 'ere aloneT
A lispin' maid wiv 'air an' eyes like 'ersL
'Oo calls me 'dad ' she climbs upon me kneeH
An' yaps 'er pretty baby tork to meH
-
I sorter see a little 'ouse it seemsL
Wiv someone waitin' for me at the gateI
Ar where's the sense in dreamin' barmy dreamsL
I've dreamed before and nearly woke too lateI
Sich 'appiness could never last fer longB
We're strangers 'less she owns that she was wrongB
-
To call 'er back I'll never lift a 'andI
She'll never 'ear frum me by word or signN
Per'aps some day she'll come to understandI
The mess she's made o' this 'ere life o' mineN
Oh I ain't much to look at I admitI
But'im The knock kneed swivel eyed misfitI
