BL 08 Palaver

I met a girl called Jenny
When I'd had one or two too many
And I'd stopped to spend a penny
In the gutter by her door
I think I took her fancy though
For the life of me I can't
Why I didn't make her ansy
As I Jimmied on the floor
She said she'd give me whisky
But I thought it rather risky
I was feeling rather frisky
She could see what's on my mind
So she said
If you think you'd rather
We could cut all the palaver
And go off to bed and charver
If you feel so inclined.

So for all you roistering fellows As you roar into the night
For all your drunken bellows Hope for luck to see you right
So for all you roistering fellows Be prepared to pay the price
For all your drunken bellows You're as vulnerable as mice vulnerable as mice
So enchanted by her offer I agreed to fill her coffer
I could not be a scoffer To such a kindly maid
She led me down an alley Acting jovial and pally
But she turned out as a scally And at last I was betrayed
She kissed me and she bit me As carefully she dipped me
Then with something hard she hit me And everything went black
I woke up feeling old Shivering in the cold
She'd taken all my gold And the coat from off my back
So for all you roistering fellows Learn a lesson here from me
For all your drunken bellows You may pay this penalty
