My Old Man - Ian Dury.lrc

LRC Lyrics download
[00:11.79]My old man wore three piece whistles
[00:14.07] He was never home for long
[00:17.01] Drove a bus for London Transport
[00:20.22] He knew where he belonged
[00:21.78] Number 18 down to Euston
[00:26.04] Double decker move along
[00:28.92] Double decker move along
[00:34.86] My old man
[00:35.19] Later on he drove a Roller
[00:37.68] Chauffeuring for foreign men
[00:39.81] Dropped his aitches on occasion
[00:43.68] Said, "Cor blimey" now and then
[00:46.71] Did the crossword in the Standard
[00:49.77] At the airport in the rain
[00:51.45] At the airport in the rain
[00:58.68] My old man
[00:58.98] Wouldn't ever let his governers
[01:01.32] Call him 'Billy', he was proud
[01:04.59] Personal reasons make a difference
[01:07.80] His last boss was allowed
[01:10.56] Perhaps he had to keep his distance
[01:13.50] Made a racket when he rowed
[01:16.62] Made a racket when he rowed
[01:18.06] My old man
[01:27.06] My old man
[01:27.51] My old man was fairly handsome
[01:30.21] He smoked too many cigs
[01:31.86] Lived in one room in Victoria
[01:36.09] He was tidy in his digs
[01:39.84] Had to have an operation
[01:41.91] When his ulcer got too big
[01:44.94] When his ulcer got too big
[02:12.69] My old man
[02:12.99] My old man
[02:14.58] Seven years went out the window
[02:17.82] We met as one to one
[02:19.50] Died before we'd done much talking
[02:23.73] Relations had begun
[02:26.52] All the while we thought about each other
[02:29.46] All the best mate, from your son
[02:32.43] All the best mate, from your son
[02:34.95] My old man
[02:35.40] My old man

My old man wore three piece whistles
He was never home for long
Drove a bus for London Transport
He knew where he belonged
Number 18 down to Euston
Double decker move along
Double decker move along
My old man
Later on he drove a Roller
Chauffeuring for foreign men
Dropped his aitches on occasion
Said, "Cor blimey" now and then
Did the crossword in the Standard
At the airport in the rain
At the airport in the rain
My old man
Wouldn't ever let his governers
Call him 'Billy', he was proud
Personal reasons make a difference
His last boss was allowed
Perhaps he had to keep his distance
Made a racket when he rowed
Made a racket when he rowed
My old man
My old man
My old man was fairly handsome
He smoked too many cigs
Lived in one room in Victoria
He was tidy in his digs
Had to have an operation
When his ulcer got too big
When his ulcer got too big
My old man
My old man
Seven years went out the window
We met as one to one
Died before we'd done much talking
Relations had begun
All the while we thought about each other
All the best mate, from your son
All the best mate, from your son
My old man
My old man
