There's many things that's come to pass like frozen meat and North Sea gas An' neither seems the same to us and it's dearer than the proper stuff My food has an artificial look My shoes are made of plastic muck And of me beer I've many doubts But landlord smiles and tells us 'owt CHORUS VERSE 2. Now t'money's changed from pence to P So adding up will simpler be For I know that I'm poorer now 'Cos it willna stretch as far somehow Yet brother George 'neer worked a day He goes on't sick and draws more pay They say no one gets 'owt for nowt Heh, that's a laugh they'll tell you 'owt CHORUS VERSE 3. The hay they got were poor last year An' that's what's making milk so dear Potato crops I 'ear were small The rain is blamed for that an' all An 'ere's another that puzzles me Why t'winter coal should dearer be For I must pay or else go w'out Coal chap comes round and tells us owt CHORUS VERSE 4. The price of meat, and fish and pork 'As got beyond a bloody joke For eat you must or else you'll die So prices just keep soaring 'igh I used t'enjoy some fish an' chips But even they are for the rich They'll sell you cod and call it trout Take yer brass and tell you 'owt CHORUS x2 Hope this is what you wanted Best wishes Cattail ! |
