There is a clip on YouTube of Lily Allen singing 'He's only a working man'. The words are, more or less, as follows: When you pick up your Sunday morning papers It's nearly always trouble that you read. Man and wife, always having strife, The (-----) each of them will (----) Now if a woman only used a little bit of tact, With happiness they always would be blessed. Do the same as I do and you'll never have a row. Believe me, my old man's one of the best. Ch: I wake him every morning when the clock strikes eight, I'm always punctual, never, never late, With a nice cup o' tea and a little round o' toast, The Sporting Life and The Winning Post. I make him nice and cosy then I toddle off to work I do the best I can For I'm only doing what a woman should do 'Cos he's only a working man. At six o-clock when public houses open Like a hero he'll get out o' bed, and then Off he'll go to the pub, you know, And mixes with his fellow working men. He lectures them on labour, says, 'God bless the working man'. By everyone my husband is admired. Comes home and has his supper, then goes to bed again, And falls right off to sleep, worn out and tired. The missing words in line 4 sound like 'separation' and 'seed'. Drop 'h's to suit.
