  I have been a washer up  I have been a washer up
  An' he has been a scrubber up  An' he has been a scrubber up
  An' I seen him a picking up  An' I seen him a picking up
  Dog ends in the rain  Dog ends in the rain
1   1
  An' he has never read a book  An' he has never read a book
  Though I told him to take a look  Though I told him to take a look
1  He lifted his pool hall cue   He lifted his poolhall       cue 1
  For another game  For another game
2   2
  But it ain't no modern miracle  But it ain't no modern miracle
  That we found the golden rule  That we found the golden rule
2  What you can't buy, you gotta steal   What you can't buy you gotta steal 2
3  An' what you say can't steal you better leave   An' what you say can't                            3
1  steal you better leave1
      
  I don't like to hang about  I don't like to hang about
  In this lonely room  In this lonely room
4  'Cos London is for going out   'Cos london is for going out 4
  And trying to hear a tune  And trying to hear a tune
3   3
  But people come pouncing up to me  But people come pouncing up to me
5  And say, "What are you doing here   And say what are you doing here 5
  You're supposed to be a star  You're supposed to be a star
6  Not a cheapskate bleeding queer"   Not a cheapskate bleeding queer 6
      
  Like a load of rats from a sinking ship  Like a load of rats from a sinking ship
  You slag us down to save your hip  You slag us down to save your hip
7  But you don't give me the benefit of your doubt   But you don't give me the benfit                  7
2  Of your doubt2
  'Cos I'll bite it off and spit it out  'Cos I'll bite it off and spit it out
