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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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