Harry Champion - Any Old Iron
Tekst piosenki Any Old Iron
Just a week or two ago my poor old Uncle Bill
Went and kicked the bucket and he left me in his Will
The other day I popped around to see poor Auntie Jane
She said, ”Your Uncle Bill has left to you a old watch and chain
I put it on - right across me vest
Thought I looked a dandy as it dangled on me chest
Just to flash it off I started walking round about
A lot of kiddies followed me and all began to shout,
Chorus: Any old iron, any old iron, any, any, any old iron?
You look neat, talk about a treat
You look dapper from your napper to your feet
Dressed in style, brand new tile,
And your Father's old green tie on
But I wouldn't give you tuppence for your old watch chain
Old iron, old iron.
I went to the city once and I thought I'd have a spree
The Mayor of London he was there, that's who I came to see
He dashed up at a canter in a carriage and a pair
I shouted, “Holler boys” and threw my hat up in the air
Just then the Mayor - he began to smile
Saw my face and then he shouted, “Lummy what a dial”
Started Lord Mayoring an' I thought that I should die
When pointing to my watch and chain and he hollered to me, “Hi,”
Chorus:
Just to have a little bit of fun the other day
Made up in my watch and chain, I went and drew my pay
Then got out with a lot of other Colonels ‘on the loose'
I got full right up to here in fourp'ny ‘stagger juice'
One of them said, “We want a pot of ale.
Run him to the rag shop and we'll bung him on the scale.”
I heard the fellow say, “What's in this bundle that you've got?”
Then whisper to me kindly: Do you want to lose your lot?”
Chorus:
Shan't forget when I got married to Selena Brown
The way that people laughed at me it made me feel a clown
I began to wonder when their dials began to crack
If by mistake I'd got my Sunday trousers front to back
I wore my chain - on me Darby-kel
The sun was shining on it and made me look a swell
The organ started playing and the bells began to ring
Me chain began to rattle so the choir began to sing,
