I don't mean to be rude

I'll be sure to mind my attitude

I'll take a breath, upon address

Be on my best behaviour

I will stand to question

And commit no transgression

Your word shall be the way

Until the day that comes when I should say that

If I'm not home

By the time you get back

Then I'm entertaining myself just where I roam

Cos I've got my life packed

In a rucksack cos you never cut me no slack, Jacqueline

If I'm not home

I shall stand to attention

And convey no apprehension

Your word shall be the way

Until the day that comes when I should say that

If I'm not home

By the time you get back

Then I'm entertaining myself just where I roam

Cos I've got my life packed

In a rucksack cos you never cut me no slack, Jacqueline

If I'm not home

Then I'm sustaining happiness alone

Cos I've got my life packed

In a rucksack cos you never cut me no slack

I'll mind my attitude

I'll mind my attitude

I'll mind my attitude

I'll mind my attitude

And now that I'm calling

Be sure to pick up or I shall leave

A message to Rudy saying if I really am not home

By the time you get back

Then I'm entertaining myself just where I roam

Cos I've got my life packed

In a rucksack cos you never cut me no slack, Jacqueline

If I'm not home

Then I'm sustaining happiness alone

Cos I've got my life packed

In a rucksack cos you never cut me no slack
