My old man

|
My old man wore three piece whistles
He was never home for long
Drove a bus for London Transport
He knew where he belonged
Number 18 down to Euston
Double decker move along
Double decker move along
My old man
Later on he drove a Roller
Chauffeuring for foreign men
Dropped his aitches on occasion
Said, "Cor blimey" now and then
Did the crossword in the Standard
At the airport in the rain
At the airport in the rain
My old man
Wouldn't ever let his governors
Call him 'Billy', he was proud
Personal reasons make a difference
His last boss was allowed
Perhaps he had to keep his distance
Made a racket when he rowed
Made a racket when he rowed
My old man
My old man
My old man was fairly handsome
He smoked too many cigs
Lived in one room in Victoria
He was tidy in his digs
Had to have an operation
When his ulcer got too big
When his ulcer got too big
My old man
My old man
Seven years went out the window
We met as one to one
Died before we'd done much talking
Relations had begun
All the while we thought about each other
All the best mate, from your son
All the best mate, from your son
My old man
My old man

My Old Man is right up there for me.
One of many amazing Norman Watt-Roy bass lines.
Regret not seeing them with Dury, seen them about a dozen times since he died. Believe it or not, Mark Lamarr did a fantastic job on vocals at one gig.

Had a love affair with Nina
In the back of my cortina
A seasoned-up hyena
Could not have been more obscener
She took me to the cleaners
And other misdemeanours
But I got right up between her
Rum and her Ribena

This song never fails to make me well up given the way things have gone.

Health service glasses, gigolos and brasses,
Round and skinny bottoms.
England's Glory has long been my vote for the national anthem.

All the jewels in the crown of England's glory
Too numerous to mention but a few
And every one could tell a different story
And show old England's glory something new
Nice bit of kipper and Jack the Ripper and UPTON PARK
Gracie, Cilla, Maxy Miller, Petula Clark
Winkles, Woodbines, Walnut Whips
Vera Lynn and Stafford Cripps
