Now there's a word that I don't understand |
|
I hear it every day from my old man |
|
It may be Cockney rhyming slang |
|
It ain't in no school book |
|
He says it every time that he gets mad |
|
A regular caution is my old dad |
|
Rub the old man up the wrong way, bet your life you'll hear him say |
|
Gertcha, cowson, gertcha |
|
Gertcha! |
|
When the kids are swinging on the gate |
|
Gertcha! |
|
When the paperboy's half an hour late |
|
Gertcha! |
|
When the pigeons are pecking at his seed |
|
Gertcha! |
|
When the farmer (?) starts digging up his weeds (?) |
|
Gertcha! |
|
Gertcha, cowson, gertcha |
|
Bar stool preaching |
|
That's the old man's game! |
|
Now the old man was a Desert Rat |
|
Khaki shorts and a khaki hat |
|
How me mother could have fancied that |
|
I just don't know |
|
But when the enemy came in sight |
|
They gave up without a fight |
|
They rubbed him up the wrong way |
|
This is what they heard him say |
|
Gertcha, cowson, gertcha |
|
Gertcha! |
|
When me rock and roll records wake him up |
|
Gertcha! |
|
When the Poles knock England out of the cup |
|
Gertcha! |
|
When the kids are banging on his door |
|
Gertcha! |
|
When the barman won't serve him any more |
|
Gertcha, cowson, gertcha |
|
Bar stool preaching |
|
He's always been the same! |
|
(piano solo) |
|
Gertcha, cowson, gertcha |
|
Gertcha! |
|
When the dog's left a message on the step |
|
Gertcha! |
|
Lester Piggott, when he lost it by a neck |
|
Gertcha! |
|
When me brother kicks the toes out of his shoes |
|
Gertcha! |
|
When the houseflies are flying round his food |
|
Gertcha, cowson, gertcha |
|
Bar stool preaching |
|
He's always been the same! |
|
Gertcha! |
|
Gertcha! |
|
Gertcha! |
|
Gertcha! |
|
Gertcha! |
|
When me mother says he can't go down the pub |
|
Gertcha! |
|
Sister's boyfriend put his sister up the club |
|
Gertcha! |
|
When the tomcats, when they're kicking up a din |
|
Gertcha! |
|
Tottenham Hotspur couldn't get one in |
|
Gertcha! |
|
When me mother locks him out of the flat |
|
Gertcha! |
|
When it's raining and he can't find his hat |
|
Gertcha! |
|
In the mornings when his motorcar won't go |
|
Gertcha! |
|
Next-door neighbour, when he won't give him a tow |
|
Gertcha! |
|
Gertcha! |
|
Gertcha! |
|
Gertcha! |
