'One man - one vote' is quite the rage, folks rave and singers sing And soon, no doubt, 'twill lead us to one only of each thing One leg to one's new trousers, just one button to one's shirt One man, one wife, one kid, one room, one quid a week a cert One birthday once a year for all of us both old and young And then this Chorus:you will hear from singers with one lung, Chorus: One man, one vote, one song, one note One tart, one mash, one quid, one dash One cab, one run, one drink, one bun However shall we all get on when we have only one. One man will only have one name, one meal a day he'll eat One house he'll always live in, and that always in one street One lodger will be allowed, and with him, just for fun He'll share his missus' kisses - they'll have them one and one One bed, with just one feather in, he'll occupy at night One one fine day you'll find each man walk out this lovely sight. Chorus: One man, one nose, one suit of clothes One arm, one foot, one eye, one boot One head, one ear, one whisker, what fun However shall we all get on when we have only one. When we go out and have a spree, one drink we'll get - no more One boozy song, one stagger, and we'll sink upon one floor The Landlord winking his one eye, will shout one word, 'Let go' And then he'll call the potman, who will shift us with one toe One policeman and one ambulance will take us off one day One beak will fine us in one tick - one one we'll have to pay. Chorus: One drink, one drunk, one wink, one wunk One shout, one toe, one out you go One bobby, one run, one fine, one done However shall we all get on when we have only one. One day we'll get for a holiday, we'll all go off so grand To one place, Margate, where we'll each share out one grain of sand One wash we'll get there, which must last each one of us one year And if one of us should get drowned, one wife will drop one tear One sail we'll get upon the sea, get queer with one 'heave ho' Each one will make one rush to feed one fish below. Chorus: One room, one flea, one bathe, one sea One joint, one meal, one cat to steal One bill, no fun, one man fair done However shall we all get on when we have only one. |
