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

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

[00:00:10] Darling and instead

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

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

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

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

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

[00:00:19] A porterhouse for two

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

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

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

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

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

[00:00:30] The porterhouse was brisket

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:00:49] The pussyfooting butcherman

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

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

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

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

[00:01:05] I was miserably broke

[00:01:07] Mooching up a ginnel

[00:01:08] When this military bloke

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:01:45] The scoundrel of a

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:02:06] But the bloodhounds came

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

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

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

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

[00:02:14] The magistrate was bogey

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:02:34] Him and his pettifoggery

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:03:23] Now a proper Christian

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:03:37] The rascally episcopal would

[00:03:38] Giggle if he knew

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

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

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

[00:03:53] Hammer and some wings

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:04:25] Him and his crematorium

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

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

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

[00:04:32] The dangerous old angelface

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

[00:04:36] That since you took

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