OUR GERT
I’ve got Sunblest for my snap today
But if I protest I get it anyway;
I hear you say
“Why don’t you just get away?”
From Our Gert
I’m talkin’ ‘bout Our Gert.
When it’s cold outside she sends me out to play;
When it hot inside , it’s “Paint the passageway”
I hear you say
“You must honour and obey”
Our Gert
I’m talkin’ ‘bout Our Gert.
I had so much money for my fags and booze
Now you’ll think it’s funny – she’s spent it on her shoes
I hear you say,
“Is she Hyacinth Bucket?”
Our Gert
I’m talkin’ ‘bout Our Gert.
I picked her hollyhocks; she said the flowers were dead
I bought her Dairy Box; she wanted Mars instead
I can’t do right for wrong
But…
…my love is just as strong
For Our Gert
I’m talkin’ ‘bout Our Gert.

Thanks, MC. Life in the Old Dog yet!
Harry - no credit to me; I just followed the lead of The Temptations.
