Quite another branch of the family. Probably a benighted Scotsman, with a name like Kenneth. And in Hove! Brighton you could understand, but in Hove they are said to be highly respectable.

Perhaps a new version of the Quartermaster's Stores? O- or as the DT calls it QUARTERMASTER CORPS.

Anyway the chorus goes well - "My eyes are dim, I cannot see, I have not brought my specs with me, I have not brought my specs with me."

There were girls there,
they were very very bare
in the raw,
in the raw,
There were girls there,
they were very very bare
they were dancing in the raw.
My eyes are dim, I cannot see,
I have not brought my specs with me,
I have not brought my specs with me.

There was one chap
with a lady in his lap,
to be sure,
to be sure,
And since he
found it very hard to see,
he touched here on the raw
My eyes are dim, I cannot see,
I have not brought my specs with me,
I have not brought my specs with me.

And she said see,
you're acting rather free
and what's more,
and what's more,
if you touch me
that's a bleeding liberty, and it's dead against the law My eyes are dim, I cannot see,
I have not brought my specs with me,
I have not brought my specs with me.

That's a shame miss, but if that's the way it is to be sure, be demure, but it's not much to cop a little touch and it makes me more secure. My eyes are dim, I cannot see,
I have not brought my specs with me,
I have not brought my specs with me.

So she says "See,
if it was down to me,
I'd say sure, let's have your paw,
but in Hove here
the rules are very clear,
we'd lose our licence, that's for sure!"
My eyes are dim, I cannot see,
I have not brought my specs with me,
I have not brought my specs with me.

But the boss called,
a bloke at City Hall,
"It's not fair,
it's not fair,
I think we
should let him feel if he can't see,
we want equality in here.
His eyes are dim, he cannot see,
let's have a touch of liberty,
let's have a touch of liberty."
