Behind With The Rent |
| This didn’t used to be me, old boy |
| This isn’t what I’d want |
| Pulling old night fighters |
| In a restaurant |
| There’s smoke and flames behind me |
| Where the self-respect all went |
| And I’m behind, behind |
| With the rent |
| I’ve been stitched up like a kipper, old son |
| But I won’t be again |
| Hell hath no fury |
| Oh, I’m like a lot of men |
| Now I’m stalking this old Doris |
| With lascivious intent |
| And I’m behind, behind |
| With the rent |
| Just a little duck and dive |
| And a bit of wheel and deal |
| She’ll remind me I’m alive |
| She’ll remind me I still feel |
| Just a little shelling out |
| For a bit of you-know-what |
| I know this is all about |
| Something that I never got |
| Well this crumpet’s past it’s sell-by-date |
| But they all would qualify |
| They’re going to be lonely |
| And be happy to comply |
| She knows that I’m a chancer |
| Coming on like a gent |
| But I’m behind, behind with the rent |
| Yes, I’m behind, behind with the rent |
