Workhouse
If you're heading north in the night with a trail full of trouble,
There's a bed and a bite for you here be it ever so humble,
There's a gang of us you can always trust,
If you just don't throw us too far,
Or our wicked ways will have us all in the workhouse.
Our Bev is doing real well since she started the artschooL
She always dresses in lack and tried to act so cool,
But when she gets there she puts her clothes on the chair,
And she just keeps as still as she can,
Oh her wicked ways will have us alf in the workhouse.
Our Bobby was taken by police as a thief yesterday morning,
But with a face as honest as his he got off with a warning,
And when they said 'On your bike', he
found one he liked

Chained up to the railings outside,
Oh his wicked ways will have us all in the workhouse.
A woman came to our door, she was foretelling the future,
She said 'I'll make sure your future will suit you.'
If she couldn't foretell, we'd say 'Go to Hell'
Then she couldn't foretell very far.
She was a leading light in the local branch of the fire brigade,
She put an end to our Billy's well-known fire-raising escapades,
Marie's the name of his latest flame,
And a couple they're a real hot match,
Oh their wicked ways will have us all in the workhouse.
