You'll very often meet a cove You know to be a wrong 'un. At first you think 'e's simple, But you'll find 'is 'ead's a long 'un; 'E can't go straight, 'e's bound to rush, 'E'll 'ave her for a tanner. It ain't no good a-roundin', 'E's got sich a pleasant manner. Chorus: 'E'll rile yer till yer cuss and swear And almost feel like strikin' 'im. You find 'e's done yer for a bit And yet yer can't 'elp likin' 'im! 'E'll kid yer on to play at cards, And ask yer for to teach 'im, Then go on makin' blunders till You wish that you could reach 'im. But strange to say 'e allus wins, You watch your pile diminish, You take 'im for a ''am fat' But 'e gits there at the finish. Chorus: And riles yer till yer cuss and swear. And almost feel like strikin' 'im, You find six aces up 'is sleeve, And yet yer can't 'elp likin' 'im! At times 'e carries on until You fairly git disgusted, It's varry 'ard to know you've got A pal as can't be trusted. 'E don't show no respect You say 'Now look 'ere Arry, You saw me wiv a doner, that's 'The gal I'm goin' to marry.' Chorus: 'E'll play some 'anky panky trick That makes yer feel like strikin' 'im You'll find 'im trottin' 'er about And yet yer can't 'elp likin' 'im! And talk about a liar, well! I may say that 'e wins it, There ain't no truth in any yarn. I mean, that's if 'e spins it. Lor' 'e won't turn a bloomin' 'air And though he knows you doubt 'im, You wouldn't care to tell 'im so There's sumfink strange about 'im! Chorus: 'E'll rile yer till yer cuss and swear And almost feel like strikin' 'im, You know 'e's kiddin' all the time, And yet yer can't 'elp likin' 'im! |
