And now we're two years older
Her mother's been a soldier.
And now we're two years older
Her mother's with a soldier.
I got a job with Stan Lee
He said I'd come in handy
I got a job with Stanley
He said I'd come in handy
She gave birth to a dog turn.
She gave birth to a daughter.
She looked just like her mother
Her dad could be another.
She looked just like her mother
If there could be another.
The evening at four fifty
I took a rather nifty
Down to an naked baiter
And thirty minutes later...
This morning at 4:50
I took her rather nifty
Down to an incubator
And thirty mintues later...
This morning at 4:50
I took her Honda 50.
This morning at 4:50
I took her rather nifty.
And when the time was ready
We had to sell some jelly
Played evenings by the fire
With little kids inside her
And when the time was ready
We had to sell the telly
Late evenings by the fire
With little kicks inside her

Down to an inky painter
And thirty mintues later...
Down to an incubator
And thirty mintues later...
I got this job with Jamie
I got this job with Stanley
I worked all through the winter
The weather bastard bitter
I worked all through the winter
The weather brass and bitter
Out on the windy comma
Out on the windy common
She gave birth to a daughter
A little yellow porker
She gave birth to a daughter
Within a year a walker.
She gave birth to a daughter
We call her Annie Walker
She gave birth to a daughter
Within a year a walker.
She gave birth to a daughter
We didn't even rock her
She gave birth to a daughter
Within a year a walker.
She gave birth to a daughter
We'd better get a porter
She gave birth to a daughter
Within a year a walker.
The devil came and took me
From Barton Street to boogie
The devil came and took me
From bar to street to bookie
