…Me Again…


I thought I was doing well,
Cos I thought I did ok?
But all I seemed to do all day,
Every flippin' day!

Now I was swimming in the baths,
But I panic when I swim!
Oh glory be, oh woe is me,
I'm never gona be slim!!!

I think I have paranoia,
Cos this weight of mine gets me down!
And I wana run a marathon!
But I can't, and it makes me frown!

I used to be so fit you know!
When I was a little lass of ten!
Cos I played footie all the time!
And scored goals over and over again!

I think the lads were scared me of me!
Though I really don't know why!
I mean to say, it aint my fault;
If they tackled me and started to cry!

And then when I was sweet sixteen!
I was always climbing trees!
And yep, I have to say it,
I always had dirty bloody knees!

Then when I grew up and was twenty five…
I would work my butt all day!
Fixing up this and that in the home!
And making everything ok!

I would be on the roof, oh yes!
Putting the gutters to rights!
Cos they would always drip,
And keep me awake at nights!

And I even built a fence you know!
Yep, for the little old lady next door!
Cos hers was all smashed up!
And there was mess all over the floor!

And I laid a drive one day!
Oh and what a shock I got!
Cos my priest walked up the drive I was doing!
And I went red in the face, a lot!

But when I was a young lass;
I was very good in school!
And always did as my teachers told me,
I never broke the rule!

Well, except when I had to defend the young lads,
Cos they were bullied and they didn't know what to do!
And the lads always came to me crying,
So I had to defend them true!

But the ones I always had to sort,
Were, of course, other boys!
So there I'd be in the play ground,
Creating a lot of noise!

And really, it wasn't my fault you know!
Cos I have always been a quiet and shy!
But when they gave me the cane for fighting,
I always used to cry…

As only a kid can do!
