Slightly different

Outside a lunatic asylum, I got a job breakin' stones
When a lunatic popped his head over the wall and said
Good ev'nin' Mr Jones
'Ow much a week dost tha' get fer doin that?
Fifteen bob I replied
He loooked at me in a funny sort of way and this is what he cried

Come inside you silly bugger come inside
I thouth tha'd have a bit more sense
Working for a living! - take my tip
Why don't you pack it all in and become a lunatic
For tha gets tha meals quite regular, and two new suits beside
If tha've I wife and kids to keep,
On fiftenn bob a week
Come inside yer silly bugger come inside
