Bottle of claret for you if I'd realised
I'd forgotten all about it, George, I'm sorry (We'll do it next time)
Will you forgive me?
Mmmyes
Cheeky bitch
Number nine, number nine, number nine, number nine, number nine
Number nine, number nine, number nine, number nine
Number nine, number nine
Number nine, number nine, number nine, number
Then there's this Welsh Rarebit wearing some brown underpants
About the shortage of grain in Hertfordshire
Everyone of them knew that as time went by
They'd get a little bit older and a little bit slower but
It's all the same thing
In this case manufactured by someone who's always
Umpteen time your father's giving it diddly-i-dee
District was leaving, intended to pay for
Number nine, number nine
Who's to know?
Who was to know?
Number nine, number nine, number nine, number nine, number nine
Number nine, number nine
I sustained nothing worse than
Also for example
Whatever you're doing
A business deal falls through
I informed him on the third night
Unfortunately he was
Number nine, number nine, number nine
Right! Right!
Right, right, right, right!
Right!
Right!
Nine, number nine
I've missed all of that
It makes me a few days late
Compared with, like, wow!
And weird stuff like that
Taking our sides sometimes
Floral bark
Rogue doctors have brought this specimen
On heat
With the situation
They are standing still
Upon the telegram
Ooh ooh
Number nine, number
A man without terrors from beard to false
As the headmaster reported to me
Tell what he was saying (My son he really can try)
(As they do to find function) And his voice was low and his hive high
And his eyes were low
Alright!
Number nine, number nine, number nine, number nine, number nine
Number nine, number nine, number nine
Number nine, number nine
So the wife called me and we'd better go to see a surgeon
But what with the prices and all it yellow underclothes
So, anyhow, he went to see the dentist instead
Who gave him a pair of teeth which wasn't any good at all
So instead of that, he joined the bloody navy and went to sea
Block that kick, block that kick!
Block that kick, block that kick!
Block that kick
In my broken chair, my wings are broken and so is my hair
I am not in the mood for whirling
Um da
Aaah
How?
Dogs were dogging, cats were catting
Birds were birding and fish were fishing
Them for themming and whim for whimming
Only to find the night-watchman (Onion soup)
Unaware of his presence in the building
Number nine, number nine, number nine, number nine, number nine
Industrial output
Financial imbalance
Thrusting it between his shoulder blades
The Watusi
The Twist
El Dorado
Take this brother, may it serve you well
Maybe it's nothing
What? What? Oh
Maybe even then
Exposure to London could be difficult thing
It's quick like rush for peace is
Because it's so much
It was like being naked
If you become naked
Hold that line, hold that line!
Hold that line, hold that line!
Hold that line
Block that kick, block that kick!
Block that kick, block that kick!
Block that kick, block that kick!
Block that kick, block that kick!
Block that kick
