More complete lyrics at: http://monologues.co.uk/musichall/Songs-I/I-Looked-Out-Of-Window.htm and at: http://www.traditionalmusic.co.uk/folk-song-lyrics/Come_in_and_Pull_Down_the_Blinds.htm None of them are exactly what my uncle taught me: When you're in a railway train, Never look out of the window pane; I was in a carriage once and did it to my regret. It was just like this, you see, one of the passengers said to me: Pull the window down and see if the train has started yet. So I looked out of the window and my hat it blew away, And I leant out to catch it like an idiotic jay. My trousers were tight and they busted, and the passengers from behind Said: Oh what a little short shirt you've got, you'd better pull down the blind!
