I Stayed Off Work Today - Jake Thackray[00:00:00]

I stayed off work all day the day I met you [00:00:07]

Darling and instead[00:00:10]

We spent the morning in the[00:00:11]

Park and the afternoon in bed [00:00:12]

But by the teatime we were hungry [00:00:14]

I went to shop for you [00:00:16]

The butcher took a fiver for[00:00:18]

A porterhouse for two [00:00:19]

I'll be blowed I'll be blowed [00:00:21]

The butcher was a twister [00:00:23]

I'll be damned I'll be damned [00:00:25]

He only gave us change of a quid [00:00:26]

I was done I was done:[00:00:29]

The porterhouse was brisket [00:00:30]

He says: 'Open up your eyes ' he says [00:00:32]

"And learn to do as I did "[00:00:34]

'Open up your eyes ' he says [00:00:36]

'And learn to do as I did '[00:00:37]

They can do me do me [00:00:39]

Darling; I have nothing else to lose [00:00:40]

Him and his poxy porterhouse[00:00:42]

Can cheat me if they choose [00:00:44]

They can do me do me do me [00:00:46]

Do me darling as they do;[00:00:48]

The pussyfooting butcherman[00:00:49]

Would laugh aloud if he knew[00:00:50]

That since you took my eyes [00:00:53]

They do not do as others' do [00:00:54]

The day before your birthday[00:01:03]

I was miserably broke [00:01:05]

Mooching up a ginnel [00:01:07]

When this military bloke[00:01:08]

Comes up and says he'll[00:01:10]

Give us a sub to buy a flower or two for you [00:01:11]

He hands me down a[00:01:14]

Shilling and I signs an I O U [00:01:15]

I'll be blowed I'll be blowed [00:01:17]

The soldier was a scoundrel [00:01:18]

I'll be damned I'll be damned [00:01:21]

And the shilling was a dud [00:01:22]

I was done I was done:[00:01:24]

I'd joined the sodding army [00:01:26]

'With a rifle in your hand ' he says [00:01:27]

'You'll do as everyone would [00:01:30]

A rifle in your hand and you[00:01:31]

Will do as everyone would '[00:01:33]

They can do me do me darling;[00:01:34]

I have nothing else to lose [00:01:36]

Him and his piffling rifle can[00:01:38]

Dragoon me if they choose [00:01:40]

They can do me do me darling [00:01:42]

They can do me as they do;[00:01:43]

The scoundrel of a[00:01:45]

Corporal would chuckle if he knew[00:01:46]

That since you held my[00:01:49]

Hand it does not do as others' do [00:01:50]

I was trained at scaling[00:01:59]

Obstacles and marching every day[00:02:00]

I got good enough to scale[00:02:02]

The barracks wall and march away[00:02:04]

But the bloodhounds came[00:02:06]

And got me and they said if I confessed [00:02:07]

The justice of the peace would[00:02:09]

Smile on me and do his best [00:02:11]

I'll be blowed I'll be blowed [00:02:13]

The magistrate was bogey [00:02:14]

I'll be damned I'll be damned [00:02:16]

He usually gave a year or two [00:02:18]

I was done I was done:[00:02:20]

He did his best and gave me twenty [00:02:21]

'With a chain about your feet ' he says [00:02:23]

'You'll do as others do [00:02:25]

A chain about your feet ' he says [00:02:27]

'Now do as others do '[00:02:29]

They can do me do me darling;[00:02:30]

I have nothing else to lose [00:02:32]

Him and his pettifoggery[00:02:34]

Can shackle me if they choose [00:02:36]

They can do me do me do me [00:02:37]

Do me darling as they do;[00:02:39]

The tricky old juridical would snicker if he knew[00:02:41]

That since you kissed my feet[00:02:44]

They do not do as others' do [00:02:46]

A bishop came to see me as[00:02:55]

I languished in the cell;[00:02:57]

Give us a blessing and asked[00:02:58]

If I was short of anything else [00:03:00]

And I said that I was thirsty[00:03:02]

So he went and got a cup;[00:03:03]

Looks at me and nods and[00:03:05]

I politely drink it up [00:03:07]

I'll be blowed I'll be blowed [00:03:09]

The bishop was a rascal [00:03:10]

I'll be damned I'll be damned [00:03:12]

And him a bishop if you please [00:03:14]

I was done I was done:[00:03:16]

In the cup was holy water [00:03:17]

'You're a Christian now you are ' he says [00:03:19]

'So down upon your knees [00:03:21]

Now a proper Christian [00:03:23]

So down upon your knees '[00:03:24]

They can do me do me darling;[00:03:26]

I have nothing else to lose [00:03:28]

Him and his holy water trick[00:03:30]

Can save me if they choose [00:03:31]

They can do me do me do me [00:03:33]

Do me darling as they do;[00:03:35]

The rascally episcopal would[00:03:37]

Giggle if he knew[00:03:38]

That since you touched my[00:03:40]

Knees they do not do as others' do [00:03:42]

And then a bony angel with a[00:03:51]

Hammer and some wings [00:03:53]

Came and said that I could[00:03:54]

See you again if I went to live with him [00:03:56]

So I said yes and so he hit[00:03:58]

Me with his hammer a time or two;[00:03:59]

He took me to his mansion [00:04:01]

On the doorstep there was you [00:04:03]

I'll be blowed I'll be blowed [00:04:05]

The angel was a bounder [00:04:06]

I'll be damned I'll be damned [00:04:08]

He took you up the stairs [00:04:10]

I was done I was done:[00:04:12]

He threw me down the boilerhouse [00:04:13]

'There's one born every minute ' he says [00:04:15]

'We keep 'em all in there [00:04:17]

One born every minute" he says [00:04:19]

'And we keep 'em all down there '[00:04:21]

They can do me do me [00:04:22]

Darling; I have nothing else to lose [00:04:24]

Him and his crematorium[00:04:25]

Can grill me if they choose [00:04:27]

They can do me do me [00:04:29]

Do me do me darling as they do [00:04:30]

The dangerous old angelface[00:04:32]

Would frown a bit if he knew[00:04:34]

That since you took[00:04:36]

Me in I do not do as others do[00:04:37]
