Current Events > Lil's husband got DEMOBBED

(+) Yeah! (+)

I said
I didnt mince my words, I said to her myself,
HURRY UP PLEASE ITS TIME
Now Alberts coming back, make yourself a bit smart.
Hell want to know what you done with that money he gave you
To get yourself some teeth. He did, I was there.
You have them all out, Lil, and get a nice set,
He said, I swear, I cant bear to look at you.
And no more cant I, I said, and think of poor Albert,
Hes been in the army four years, he wants a good time,
And if you dont give it him, theres others will, I said.
Oh is there, she said. Something o that, I said.
Then Ill know who to thank, she said, and give me a straight look.
HURRY UP PLEASE ITS TIME
If you dont like it you can get on with it, I said.
Others can pick and choose if you cant.
But if Albert makes off, it wont be for lack of telling.
You ought to be ashamed, I said, to look so antique.
(And her only thirty-one.)
I cant help it, she said, pulling a long face,
Its them pills I took, to bring it off, she said.
(Shes had five already, and nearly died of young George.)
The chemist said it would be all right, but Ive never been the same.
You are a proper fool, I said.
Well, if Albert wont leave you alone, there it is, I said,
What you get married for if you dont want children?
HURRY UP PLEASE ITS TIME
Well, that Sunday Albert was home, they had a hot gammon,
And they asked me in to dinner, to get the beauty of it hot
HURRY UP PLEASE ITS TIME
