Now ever since I 'tied the Knot', and which it ain't a day I've satisfied my husband in my good old-fashioned way But since he's seen a gal in 'bags' it's knocked him sure as fate He says I ain't worth that, because I am not up to date Chorus: There was none o' yer 'Highty Flighty' girls Yer 'Hi-tiddley Hi-ty' girls When my old 'Stick in the mud' took me for a wife Now fancy me a smoking 'fags' Riding bikes and wearing 'bags' A leaving off my bits of rags At my time of life I likes my drop of 'stimulant' as all good ladies do A 'arf of quartern 'two out' used to do between the two But now he says it's only 'rough' as patronises 'pubs' For all 'New women” wot is 'class' belongs to swagger clubs Chorus: There was none o' yer 'Highty Flighty' girls Yer 'Hi-tiddley Hi-ty' girls When my old 'Thing-a-my-bob' took me for a wife Now fancy me 'old Mother Scrubs' Adjoining these 'ere Totties' clubs' Fancy me deserting the 'pubs' At my time of life He'd like to see me got up with a cigarette to puff A 'Dickey-dirt and tie (as if I wasn't gay enough) Says I'd look well in 'bloomers' and a 'call me Charlie' hat If I'd proposed it he'd 'a said “Get out yer old gay cat” Chorus: There was none o' yer 'Highty Flighty' girls Yer 'Hi-tiddley Hi-ty' girls When my old 'Fourpenny bit' took me for a wife Now fancy me a sportin' shirts Playing billiards, backing 'certs' A going about without my skirts At my time of life |
