Lyrics

[Verse 1]
That was a close escape
Have to get a new hobby to relate
Somethin' less conspicuous
Won't take up too much time
Somethin' less energetic
For what I've got in mind
I won't be too persistent
'Cause I'm not that way inclined
[Verse 2]
See, that's the one for me
Look under "Collins," see if she's free
Sweaty fingers find 5p
415-1683
Hello, Miss Collins, you'll not know me
I'm in the undies business, see?
Please, please, can you tell me the size?
How far from the knee?
[Verse 3]
Oh, dear, dear, me luck is runnin' thin
I'll take another name, I might have a win
What? Two more points? I hope no one fills it in
[Verse 4]
See, that's the one for me
Look under "Dickens," CFG
[Verse 5]
See if she'll speak to me
Hands get shaky, eyes can't see
Having trouble? Find 5p
217-1983
Hello, Miss Dickens, you'll not know me
I'm in the undies business, see?
Feel more relaxed now? Here we go again
Wait, no three-piece, someone must take me in
[Verse 6]
Oh, dear, dear, me luck is runnin' thin
So, please, please can you tell me?
The texture and fit feel good to me
In the naked mood, try to grin and bear with me
Please, don't think me rude, I only hear, don't want to see
[Verse 7]
See, that's the one for me
That was quick, too quick for me
Of that, I can see
What's your name? Mildred? Oh, bugger me
Sugar or milk with your tea?
No I couldn't, well I'll see
What's your hobby? Is it the same as me?
See you soon for tea
[Verse 8]
I'll give it one last chance, I think you'll all agree
I'm gettin' no gain here, on my last 5p
I'm sick of flippin' pages, nothin' interests me
I'll ring another number, make sure it's a she
Here we go again, I'll give it 3rd degree
No harms been done, yes, I'm sure you'll all agree
I'll take another name, I might have a win
