COME ON CHAPS

Come on chaps, drinks all round
We've had a jolly good supper.
If a man goes out with the sergeant's wife,
He's foolish not to...

Ask the General out to tea and all his family.
If he can't come then tickle his bum with a stick of celery.

Hey!

Blackpool is the place for me,
a fishing from the rock.
I never use my fishing line,
I always use my...

Dainty little fingers,
so slender and so slim.
I can get all five of them,
inside my best girls...

Pockets are so usefull,
especialy at the stalls.
For when you're tired of what's on stage,
you can fumble with your...

Money if you've got some,
and if you had some luck.
And haven't gone and spent it all,
having a jolly good...

Turkish bath or manicure
to make you feel so smart.
Remembering in society,
to never let a...

Swearword pass your lips,
also refrain from humming.
For there are some society folks,
who think it's worse than...

Biting your nails in public,
a very loathsome trick.
And If you cannot suck those nails,
than why not suck the...

Sharp end of a pencil,
and chew it all to bits.
And therein lies the sweetshop girls,
very alluring...

Peppermints to sell,
you wait until you suck 'em.
And if you like the sweetshop girls,
don't hesitate to...

Come and have a drink with me,
this ends this song of mine.
I had a date at half past eight,
and now it's half past nine!
