| YOU OUGHT TO SEE THE MISSUS IN A HAREM SKIRT | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
I've got a wife and she's got me She's had me for an M.U.G. Since we tied the knot in church She's been crowing on the household perch She once saw my overtime, Working late, that's my crime But she's undergone a change Now goes in for fashions strange. Chorus: You ought to see the missus in a harem skirt Biff bang tear 'em scare 'em She goes tripping like a gay young flirt Now she makes me wear 'em When she's off into the fried -fish shop Street kids shout out 'Tear 'em.' Turkish Delight - suits her all right She's longing to be living in a harem. Once round the West she thought she'd go Shops on show - as of course you know When she saw the harem skirt She cried, 'Arry, do you think they hurt?' I didn't wear 'em - so wouldn't they She bought one - made me pay Five pounds ten from me she had But all these quids I swear were bad. Chorus: Oh what a sight those boys once had They all laughed - she looked mad Something wrong went with the pins Awfully ready with the coats and springs All at once she shouted, 'Oh Let me go.' I cried, 'No.' But quite soon I felt a clown For oh dear me 'er dress fell down. Chorus: |
