There's a man down [F] the road [C] in a needy boat, and he's thinking [G] of heading for London.
[C] He's lost [F] his job, [C] he's stuck for a bob, [G] but there's [C] no use in grumbling.
He called [F] today, [C] asking what would you say, I was thinking [G] of emigrating.
[C] And I know that [F] you [C] have been there too, could [G] you help my [C] situation?
Well I said to [F] screw that [C] you're fifty-two, and you've never [G] passed in a stymie.
[C] Where would you [F] be going to start your [C] life without [G] a bell [C] in your bicycle?
[F] You'd miss the cadies in the [C] hall, the dogs [G] and the piebald [C] asses.
You'd be better [F] off sitting at home by [C] the fire, [G] drawing [C] little men in the ashes.
Living in [F] the smoke, [C] it is no joke, for the times [G] they are a changing.
[C] From [F] Pakistan [C] to Far Japan, sure [G] they come [C] from every nation.
There's Jews [F] and Muslims, [C] Quakers too, Shiites [G] and [C] Eofascists.
You'd be better [F] off sitting at home by [C] the fire, [G] drawing [C] little men in the ashes.
[F] You'd miss the cadies in the [C] hall, the dogs [G] and the piebald [C] asses.
You'd be better [F] off sitting at home by [C] the fire, [G] drawing [C] little men in the ashes.

I knew [F] a dozen [C] lads like you, who thought [G] they'd make a million.
[C] They're back with [F] their tails [C] between their legs, [G] sure they hardly [C] have a shillin'.
You can [F] turn back [C] the clock, old chap, or in [G] the air build [C] castles.
You'd be better [F] off sitting at home by [C] the fire, [G] drawing [C] little men in the ashes.
[F] You'd miss the cadies in the [C] hall, the dogs [G] and the piebald [C] asses.
You'd be better [F] off sitting at home by [C] the fire, [G] drawing [C] little men in the ashes.
[F] And you'd miss the cadies in the [C] hall, the dogs [G] and the piebald [C] asses.
You'd be better [F] off sitting at home by [C] the fire, [G] drawing [C] little men in the ashes.
You'd be better [F] off sitting at home by [C] the fire, [G] drawing [C] little men in the ashes.
