Awww, I'd Never Do That, Mr. / Tell Me Something...
Aww, I'd never do that Mr.
Mess up this flat of yours,
But can I do some alterations,
And rip out all the floors?
What about the kitchen?
Them tiles aint very nice,
I'd like to change them Mr.
And rip them out in a thrice!
Awww, I'd never do that Mr.
Wreck this flat like that!
But I like to be creative,
And paint all over the mat.
Why won't you let me do it?
It's going to look so neat!
I'll have it looking to modern,
But I'll rip out that window seat!
I love the colour pink,
Florescent yellow and green,
If you let me do it!
You'll see what I mean!
Why can't I have the flat, Mr.?
What do you mean it's not for me?
Give me a chance to prove myself,
And I'll spruce it up, just wait and see!
You say you'll look after the flat,
And you'll pay your rent on time,
As long as you're not strapped for cash,
And as long as life's going fine!
Tell me something I haven't heard before,
Cos I hear this day in and day out,
Promises here, promises there,
Everyone's in no doubt!
You tell me you want to stay forever,
Well forever's a very long time,
So don't give promises you can't keep,
And we'll get along just fine!
Tell me something I haven't heard before,
But no empty promises please,
For I've heard it all, yes, I have,
I've had people on their knees!
Begging for a chance,
Promising all they dare,
But after al, at the end of the day,
They don't really care!
Tell me something I haven't heard before,
Convince me to take you on,
Then let's see how long it is…
Till those empty promises are gone!
