P.C. Seventy-three once arrested Billy McGee Bill, he tried his best the 'cop' to kill So that limb of the law dragged him home and knocked at the door While the neighbours shouted out at BIll, Chorus: 'Serves you right! it serves you right Jolly well serves you right You've pinched his whistle and torn his clothes Smashed his helmet and broke his nose He was going to lock you up, but now as you want to fight He's going to take you home to your wife And it jolly well serves you right.' Bill Green, terribly mean, wearing shoddy clothes could be seen Made by foreign work to save a bob His knives, forks and plates were foreign made, so his mates Shouted when they heard he'd lost his job, Chorus: 'Serves you right! it serves you right Jolly well serves you right A German cut out the clothes you wear A Russian barber has cut your hair Matches cut in Sweden too, you use if you want a light Now a foreigner's cut you out of a job And it jolly well serves you right.' Oh, dear, upon the pier, Simpson felt a kick in the rear Fell into the water with a splosh Bill Brown, barber by trade, shouted out, 'You ought to have paid Tuppence in my shop to've had a wash. Chorus: 'Serves you right! it serves you right Jolly well serves you right Said the fellow, 'Oh save me do.' Said the barber, 'But who shaves you?' He replied, 'I shave myself.' The barber said, 'Well blow me tight If you shave yourself, you can drown yourself And it jolly well serves you right.' Some spark, when it was dark, ev'ry evening sat in the park With a different girl upon his knees One night when he had sat hours and hours, or longer than that He heard this loving echo through the trees, Chorus: 'Serves you right! it serves you right Jolly well serves you right You can love her and call her sweet But this morning we've tarred the seat Nice and thick, it's bound to stick, You've got to stop there all night And tomorrow you'll have to marry the girl And it jolly well serves you right.' |
