The Golden Rule |
| I wouldn’t be glad wouldn’t be sad |
| I wouldn’t be good if I knew what I could |
| And I hate to go |
| But I must you know |
| Duty calls |
| Niagara Falls |
| See it go down |
| As it falls on the ground |
| And gets up again |
| At the count of ten |
| I would like everyone here to repeat after me |
| Something of which I know nothing about |
| Namely that which I will tell you |
| (That which I will tell you) |
| I’m going to school breaking a rule |
| I’m going around in a pityful frown |
| 'Coz I didn’t pass (came) |
| Bottom of the class (Oh! what a shame) |
| Teacher was mad |
| So was me dad |
| Took off his belt |
| And without any help |
| Really hit me hard |
| Where I’d stuck a card |
| Thick I may be but a fool I am certainly not |
| Always remember the golden rule |
| When in no doubt get a car out |
| And while you’re there how about… |
| Fetching me one of those pneumatic drills |
| Boy! |
| I really love the sound that they make |
| So good for the pains and aches of life in general |
| Don’t be such a miser |
| At the most a fiver’s all you pay |
| Many’s the time |
| I have wondered about what it is |
| I want you all to repeat after me |
| Something I know you know I know |
| (Something I know you know I know) |
| I wouldn’t behold wouldn’t be cold |
| I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for my |
| Dear old mum and dad |
| And the fun they had |
| Early one night |
| Dad put out the light |
| Got hold of me mum |
| Said he wanted a son |
| And as you can see |
| The result was me |
| Somebody told me once money does not grow on trees |
| Well if that’s true then how do you explain |
| Apples oranges and lemons |
| Not forgetting melons |
