Lots of people think they've got some pluck 'Cos they've stood a bit of real hard luck And they're always worrying themselves If they've got no grub upon the shelves If they can't afford the water rates And don't live near a pump And the landlord's cut the water off Why, they go bang off their chump. Chorus: But I never let it upset me. I never let it upset me As long as I can soak my neck in porter You can keep your' blooming water If the sun dried up the sea, you see I'd never, never, never, never let it upset me. Some men do like picking things to bits Driving their 'old Dutches' into fits If their dinner's half an hour late They go 'barmy', smash the blessed plate If the Sunday joint's a fortnight old So tough, it can't be carved They get mad and sling it in the fire And they swear that they've been starved. Chorus: But I never let it upset me. I never let it upset me I hammer all the bits of meat together Nail 'em on my boots - it does for leather True I do study economy - I never, never, never, never let it upset me. Talk about your jossers, I've met some 'Cos they owe some rent, they all look glum Look at me, I've not paid rent for years Still you never see me shedding tears Don't forget! my landlord's got some nerve 'Cos I don't brass up the tin Ev'ry week he comes round and he swears That he'll put the brokers in Chorus: But I never let it upset me. I never let it upset me I grab him by the whiskers on his crumpet Get him by the 'boko' and I thump it For, oh lor! I know a thing or three I never, never, never, never let it upset me. |
