21 Nov 02 - 01:44 PM (#831812) Subject: Lyr Req: There's Nothing For Free From: Joan from Wigan I've been asked to try to find this song. It is vaguely familiar, perhaps from the sixties. Can't find anything in the DT, the forum, or via Google. Some of the lyrics: My old man works for the council, gets twenty-four quid a week And with four nippers and another on the way, it's hard to make ends meet So I gets this form from the FIS down at the CAB And I sends it off to the old SS and they sends some back to me (Chorus): Red ones, pink ones, covered in print ones Forms that last for ages... Can anyone help please? Joan |
