Lyrics
I never was a one to go and stint meself. If I likes a thing, I likes it--that's enough. But there's lots of people say that if you liked a thing a lot, it'll grow on you and all that sort of stuff. Now I like me drop of stout as well as anyone, but stout (you know) 's supposed to make you fat. Ah, and there's many a lawdy dawdy madam wouldn't dare to touch it 'cause it might spoil her figure, the silly cat. Now, I always hold with having it if you fancy it. If you fancy it, that's understood. And suppose it makes you fat? I don't worry over that 'cause a little of what you fancy does you good. I always like to take a little holiday, and we've always had one, my old man and me. But the last time that we had one he sprung up a new idea when he saw the ladies bathing in the sea. He said, "What a man requires is a change of everything. Ah, and he ought to take his holidays alone--you know, away from everyday affairs." So I said, "Very likely! Well, if you'd like a fortnight on your own, I always hold with having it if you fancy it. If you fancy it, that's understood. But if that's your blooming game, I intend to do the same 'cause a little of what you fancy does you good." I had to take a special train the other day. Ah, but I very nearly lost it, I declare. But the guard said, "C'mon, jump in, missus!" Then he slung me in a first [class?], and I saw a loving couple sitting there. I could see that honeymoon was stamped all over 'em, and I was sorry for the lady and the chap. So I said, "Go on--excuse me. If you want to have a cuddle, have a cuddle 'cos I'm going to have a nap."
