This little ditty, recorded by Foster and Allen, then by Brendan Shine, is simply called "The Blind" If ever you go on a railway train, Well, don't look out of the window pane, For I was in the carriage once and did it to my regret. This is what happened to me: Well, this old devil he said to me, "Would you look out the window and see if the train is coming yet?" So I looked out of the window. Me hat did blow away. Then I leaned out to get it In an idiotic way. Me pants were tight and they bursted. The passenger sat behind Said, "I see those little short shorts you've got. You'd better pull down the blind". The other night at 12 o'clock I was given a hell of a shock When out the back yard clearly I heard a terrible row. Me wife said, "It's a German band Coming to drive us off the land." Then I looked out the window And I heard a faint "Meow, meow." Yes, I looked out of the window And saw a cat below. He was making quare arrangements With the ginger cat next door. I drownded him with water. Me wife "You're unkind! You did it yourself when you were young. You better pull down the blind!" We live in a narrow street. Across the road is just eight feet. When I look out the window, I see into the house inside. So I looked out of the window And saw a room with light, And there I saw a big fat dame Retiring for the night. First she pulled down her knickers, And then she changed her mind. She was pullin' 'em up and pullin' 'em down And forgot to pull down the blind!
