Thread Name: Lyr Req: George Formby Songs
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: George Formby Songs
Ther was a song in the film 'Bell Bottom George' that led to questions being asked in Parliament because it was thought to be contrary to the war effort. It was called 'It Serves you right, you shouldn't have joined'
Can't remember all of it, but here is what I have in the memory bank.....


It serves you right, yiu shouldn't have joined,
It jolly well serves you right,
It serves you right, you shouldn't have joined,
You might have been sitting tight,
You might have been in civvy street instead of in the fight,
It serves yoo right, you shouldn't have joined,
It jolly well serves you right,
And it's no use kicking up a row, 'cos you're nobody's sweetheart now,
Oh I thought in every port I'd get a cuddle every night,
But all I've done is cuddle a gun and work up an appetite.

I used to be a chimney sweep in dear old Wigan Town,
I used to do the ladies down the street for half-a-crown,
But now I don't get nothing for the little jobs I do,
I wish I was in Wigan sweeping Mrs Jones's Flue,

But it serves me right etc......
And it's no use kicking up a row, because I'm nobody's sweetheart now,
Theres a draught around me fore and aft, Me jumpers much too tight.
I've got barnacles on me binnicle and it bloody well serves me right!
