The Who

Songtekst

The first time we met
You were a kennel maid
You gave me a tip
I got me forecast paid
You were holding a greyhound
In trap number one
Your white coat was shining
In the afternoon sun

Now we're both together
We're never gonna break apart, no no
Cause we're a happy couple, you and me
With a greyhound at either knee

I'll have ten shillings to win on Camera Flash, young man
What dog's that
Well, it is, it's the duke's dog, innit

There was nothing in my life
Bigger than beer
There was nothing in my life
Bigger than beer
'Ceptin' you, little darling
'Ceptin' you, little darling
We're a happy couple, you and me
With a greyhound at either knee

We go to the dog track
on Saturday night
We put all our money
An a dog that we like
A kiss and a cuddle
A hot meat pie
Two dollar tickets
And a starry sky

There was nothing in my life
Bigger than beer
There was nothing in my life
Bigger than beer
'Ceptin' you, little darling
'Ceptin' you, little darling
We're a happy couple, you and me
With a baby on either knee

Yes, it's you, little darling
Yes, it's you, little darling
Now it's you, little darling
Now it's you

Girl, where's me wage packet, I need it
Ah, I'll put twenty-five knicker please on Gallop Printer
Oh, I hope the wife don't find out
Yes, it's sure to win, isn't it
Yes, I know, it's a good dog, I saw it run at White City
Just last week, broke the record, Gallop Printer
Nice dog, yes, lovely form, lovely buttocks
