Well you'd better not tell I've had a good night Me and this bird she's a bit of alright Dancing to the sounds as the arches get searched She is the business for a bit of old skirt It's so dirty when it's in the right mood Give it some brandy and some chinese food Take her for a spin with your stereo jack Tell her she's the best girl you've ever had Give it some gold to put round its neck Bet here old man puts you on the deck But its so dirty with me - it so dirty with me Its so dirty with me - its so dirty with me
Well you'd better watch out here comes a tornado You'll end up looking like a mashed potato If her old man gets word of what's going on here You'll end up at the bottom of someone's next beer
Well I've got a bud ain't frightened by shooters So lets have a drink for a couple of troopers No her old man won't know I've been giving it some Unless you tell him the news but we know that ain't done
I met her in a bar room Her name I didn't catch She looked like something special The kind who'd understand The room was almost spinning She pulled another smile She had the grace like pleasure She had a certain style Sunlight on the lino Woke me with a shake I looked around to find her but she'd gone Goodbye Girl Goodbye Girl Goodbye Girl
She took me to her hotel The room on the second floor A kettle and two coffees Her number on the door She said I hardly know you Agreed we kissed goodnight I knew that in the morning Somehow I'd wake to find Goodbye Girl Goodbye Girl Goodbye Girl
I lost my silver razor My clubroom locker keys The money in the waistcoat It doesn't bother me My wife has moved to Guernsey So mug is not the word If you ever see her Say hello Goodbye Girl Goodbye Girl Goodbye Girl Goodbye Girl
I never thought it would happen With me and the girl from Clapham Out on a windy common That night I ain’t forgotten When she dealt out the rations With some or other passions I said you are a lady Perhaps she said I may be We moved into a basement With thoughts of our engagement We stayed in by the telly Although the room was smelly We spent our time just kissing The Railway Arms we’re missing But love had got us hooked up And all our time it took up
I got a job with Stanley He said I’d come in handy And started me on Monday So I had a bath on Sunday I worked eleven hours And bought the girl some flowers She said she’d seen a doctor And nothing now could stop her
I worked all through the winter The weather brass and bitter I put away a tenner Each week to make her better And when the time was ready We had to sell the telly Late evenings by the fire With little kicks inside her
This morning at 4:50 I took her rather nifty Down to an incubator Where thirty minutes later She gave birth to a daughter Within a year a walker She looked just like her mother If there could be another
And now she’s two years older Her mother’s with a soldier She left me when my drinking Became a proper stinging The devil came and took me From bar to street to bookie No more nights by the telly No more nights nappies smelling
Alone here in the kitchen I feel there’s something missing I’d beg for some forgiveness But begging’s not my business And she won’t write a letter Although I always tell her And so it’s my assumption I’m really up the junction
The case was pulled from under the bed She made a call to a sympathetic friend And made arrangements The door was closed there was a note I couldn't be bothered maybe I'll choke No more engagements With where have you beens And faraway frowns Trying to be good By not being round And here in the bar The pianoman's found Another nail in my heart
That stupid old bug That kills only love I want to be good Is that not enough So play me the song That makes it so tough Another nail for my heart Then play me the song That makes it so tough Another nail for my heart
I had excuses those little boy lies Then she computed by watching my eyes And told me firmly She couldn't stand it I'm bad on the heart She dropped her makeup and I found the bar Now it concerns me
I've had a bad time Now love has resigned I've been such a fool I've loved and goodbyed
So here in the bar The pianoman's found Another nail for my heart And here in the bar The pianoman's found Another nail for my heart
