We've Got To Keep Up With The Joneses - Gracie Fields[00:00:00]

There's a family called Joneses come lived next to us[00:00:11]

And they're causing our family no end of a fuss [00:00:15]

They're very posh people you know by their clothes [00:00:18]

He wears plus fours and she talks down 'er nose [00:00:22]

We used to be 'appy 'til they came our way[00:00:25]

Now everything's altered I'm sorry to say [00:00:29]

Cos we've got to keep up with the Joneses [00:00:32]

We do just whatever they do [00:00:36]

They're so very cork tipped that Mother got pipped[00:00:39]

And said we would show them oo's oo [00:00:43]

When dinner is ready Ma bangs on a gong [00:00:47]

She puts in 'er aitches and gets them all wrong [00:00:50]

And Dad says 'e might 'ave a bath before long [00:00:54]

Cos we've got to keep up with the Joneses [00:00:58]

We've got to keep up with the Joneses[00:01:01]

Last Monday was their washing day [00:01:05]

And when Mother saw what Mrs Jones wore [00:01:08]

Well she bought a pair right away [00:01:12]

Dad said "Aren't you cold in them thin celonese "[00:01:15]

Said Mother "I was 'til I hit on this wheeze [00:01:19]

I'm wearing me fleecy ones underneath these "[00:01:23]

Cos we've got to keep up with the Joneses [00:01:26]

Dad goes off to work in a collar so neat [00:01:30]

But 'e snatches it off when 'e gets down the street [00:01:33]

Jones kisses 'is wife when 'e goes off to biz [00:01:37]

So dad said "I'm 'aving a basin of this "[00:01:40]

And just to make sure 'e's doing things swell [00:01:44]

E kisses the dog and the tom cat as well [00:01:48]

Cos we've got to keep up with the Joneses [00:01:51]

They really are terribly swell [00:01:55]

It gave us a jar when Jones bought a new car[00:01:59]

So we 'ad to 'ave one as well [00:02:02]

One Saturday evening Dad brought it across[00:02:06]

But we lost it the following morning because [00:02:09]

The fella who owned it found out where it was [00:02:13]

But we've got to keep up with the Joneses [00:02:17]

We've got to keep up with the Joneses [00:02:20]

Our manners improve every day [00:02:24]

Even Grandma says "Pardon " and runs down the garden[00:02:27]

When her food has gone down the wrong way [00:02:31]

Our Gert gave our Bert such a sloshin' one night[00:02:35]

She said "Stop that scratchin' it isn't polite [00:02:38]

When there's company present you just let 'em bite [00:02:42]

Cos we've got to keep up with the Joneses "[00:02:45]
