I saw her on the bus with him
On Sunday afternoon,
I dunno what she sees in such
A weedy lookin' goon.
She said she thought that what he'd told her
Gave him such a fright,
Then he turned round and told her
What she said he'd said last night...
Well now, she said, I mean, she said,
I dunno what you mean,
She said to him, she said
I think your head needs to be seen.
She said she'd told him what she thought
They'd said behind his back,
He told her what he thought of them
And took me quite aback, well...
Chorus
This is it (This is it)
Well I think so...
I really didn't think he should have said so.
It's a killer, it's a pain
but I'll say it again,
I thought I ought to let you know, okay?
I thought I ought to let you know.
He told her what he'd said about her
Goin' on with Fred,
I don't like to repeat it, but
Let lightnin' strike me dead -
Then he turned round and said to her
A word I won't repeat,
And she said, that's alright because
I'm goin' out with Pete!
Then after she said he'd turned round
And told her what he thought,
He said he don't remember saying
Nothing of the sort;
But she said, well, she said, I mean,
It's gotta be a joke,
'Cos things like that don't happen
To us normal decent folk, well... (Chorus)
Well, hang about, I thought, that's not
What I had overheard,
From what I understood he'd been out
With that other bird;
I told him so, I said look mate,
I said, you've got a cheek,
You don't watch out I'll knock you to
The middle of next week!
Well he said, who d'you think you are?
I said, I'm Queen Victoria,
He said I'll bloody crown yer, mate
If I hear any more o' your
Nonsense, I said, Bleedin' 'ell, I said,
You wanna punch up?
He said, no ta, the sight of you's
Enough to bring me lunch up... (Chorus)
