Polly Lyrics

Sally Anne got Summer Sam
And Polly put the kettle on
I met a man in Amsterdam
He told me that the pound was strong
And London Bridge was falling down
So Jimmy put the gas-masks on
We swear, we swear, we wouldn't dare
But everybody came along

Don't think you can take it
One more time to make it wrong
Don't think I can risk it
Another heavy biscuit, no

Can I beat the count of ten?
I'm lying just to stay alive
Damning my soul again
Taking a dive
Trying to survive

Where's it going to take you?
And hows it going to make you feel?
You can't even spell it
So how you gonna tell if it's real?
A bomb blew up my shelter
I never even felt a thing
I brushed away the dust and
Gave old Jimmy Custer a ring

Don't think you can take it
One more time to make it wrong
Don't think I can risk it
Another heavy biscuit, no

Can I beat the count of ten?
I'm lying just to stay alive
Damning my soul again
Taking a dive
Trying to survive
