I heard this song ages ago, a lament about the sourpusses in the world and how they spoil things for the rest of us. It has the chorus: And there's no smiling, no smiling on a Monday No laughing, no laughing on a Tuesday No singing on a Wednesday No dancing on a Thursday No breathing on a Firday No living on a Saturday And on Sunday, Oh on Sunday, no loving at all. I have the outline of some of the verses, but need things filled in I heard it at a pub sing with the Sheffield morris men. |

Said the brass-faced man in the blood-red suit And the medal ribbons hanging from his shoulder. "It's not my fault but you can't stand here 'Cause it contravenes the by-laws And it's against the regulations. I don't know why. I've just got a job to do." CHORUS: For there's no smiling, no smiling on a Monday; No laughing, no laughing on a Tuesday; No singing on a Wednesday; no dancing on a Thursday; No breathing on a Friday; no living on Saturday; And on Sunday, yes, on Sunday, no loving at all. "Little boy, you can't fish here," Said the plus-four legs in the Harris-tweed voice To the small boy standing by the river. "Don't you know that this river runs By courtesy of Lord Muckybrass And God and all his angels? Don't look like that or I'll confiscate your smile." "I'm sorry but you can't live here," Said the brick-faced man with the cast-iron hands And the weight of plans and profits on his shoulders. "We'll have to move you out of here And bulldoze your dreams And pull down your hopes And leave your memories smouldering in the rubble." "We can't have lovers lying here," Said the clay-faced man with the crow-black eyes And the shotgun nestled in his shoulder. "Get up and get dressed and get out of here 'Cause you'll scandalise the crops And you'll frighten all the cows And besides it's free and no one makes a profit." Cheers Mark |
