Lyrics Don't Tell I Tell 'ee - The Wurzels

Don't Tell I Tell 'ee

Never been to school
I’ve never been to college
Sooner be dead than stuff me head
With a load of useless knowledge
I never couldn’t see
No point in history
'Cause I weren’t there
So I don’t care
So don’t tell I, tell 'ee
Don’t tell I, tell 'ee
That’s my philosophy
When folks do cuss
And start a fuss
Don’t tell I, tell 'ee
Young Sarah Jones one day
Got in the family way
Her father come with a girt big gun
Said, «Ee, you’ll have to pay,»
He chased I up a tree
I hollered, «Leave I be
I happen to know 'twere old Fred Snow
So don’t blame I, blame 'ee.»
Don’t tell I, tell 'ee
That’s my philosophy
When folks do swear
And tear their hair
Don’t tell I, tell 'ee
I took a ride one night
A PC hove in sight
He made it up
Because I’d got no brakes, no bell, no light
«I'll sling the book at 'ee,»
That copper said with glee
I said, «Sling all you like, 'tis your dad’s bike
So don’t tell I, tell 'ee.»
Don’t tell I, tell 'ee
That’s my philosophy
When folks do fuss
And start to cuss
Don’t tell I, tell 'ee
I got a lift to town
From good old farmer Brown
In a ten tonne truck with a load o' muck
When he set us down
A drink we did agree
It would be good for we
The barmaid Rose, she held her nose
I said, «Don't smell I, smell 'ee.»
Don’t tell I, tell 'ee
That’s my philosophy
When folks do swear
And tear their hair
Don’t tell I, tell 'ee
Oh, ah, then, clever stuff
The vicar came along
He said, «You know 'tis wrong
You gets tight on a Friday night.»
I answered 'ee real strong
«Now, parson, you’ll agree
The Lord created me
And I’m afraid 'tis how I’m made
So, don’t tell I, tell 'ee.»
Yeah
