1. Theme tune (instrumental) |
Friday night is bath night this is what they say
We are gonna dig the groove, we've waited all day
We wear trendy trousers with belts a mile too long
We are gonna catch the bus into the town
We are boogie on down...
Dig that groove ba-a-by
Dig that groove ba-a-by
Dig that groove ba-a-a-a-by
Dig that groove ba-a-by
Dig that groove ba-a-by
Dig dig dig dig dig dig dig dig dig
Digga digga digga dig that groove baby
There they are again covered in old spice
They think they will get the girls cause
They smell nice,
They all call me riff raff
'Coz i wear a crombie
I couldn't stand it being just like them
They all look like puffs not men
See that trendy there she used to be a punk
Now she's off to the disco to listen to junk
Her boyfriend was a skinhead
He used to shout oi! Oi!
Play that funky music that's what they say now
Come with me and i'll show you how
You can't guess what life for dougy
Is like, he wakes up in the street
No home, no bed, he says he's lucky
That he can smile and be happy
Dougy, dougy, giro
Dougy, dougy, giro
People say that he's not worthy
Of clothes, that shows that they don't care
But he does not let this get him down
That is how dougy stays alive
Dougy's inside a bus shelter
It's raining and a sight to see,
Dougy smiles he's seen a rainbow
Every.. Where's bright, and so is he
I was getting dressed late one night
Along came a spider and i got a fright
Oh i could not squash it flat
No matter how i tried
And when it looked me in the eye
I ran away to hide
I put on me doctor martin shoes
A battle with the spider that i wasn't gonna loose
A kick from the left a kick from the right
I was on the floor but i was alright
It was gonna be a long long night
Spiders in the dressing room
Spiders everywhere
Spider in the dressing room beware
Spiders in the dressing room
Spiders everywhere
Spider in the dressing room beware
Things were getting hot and i had to take a chance
The spider got impatient
Started crawling up me pants
I shook it off me leg thump it hit the ground
Everything was silent so i didn't make a sound
I crossed the room as happy as can be
I had killed the spider now it couldn't bother me
But with me arm on the light
He was there ready for a fight
It was gonna be a long long night
It was getting late and the spider wasn't dead
An audience had gathered round
And i was going red
I put a jam jar on the floor
The spider crawled inside it
I screwed the lid back on the top
And threw the jar outside
At a party late that night
Everything was bright and gay
We played all our pop records and danced the night away
Early in the morning came a knocking at the door
I opened it slowly guess what i saw
It was gonna be a long long night
Victory if glenda she, had a baby, oooeee
Things were looking gloomy and glenda she was sad
Kevin had been out with carol sands
But glenda she though surely
It can't be that bad, if i had a baby
Glenda went round to the doctors the next day
You can't have a baby, that's what he said
Glenda did not give up she's got this book to read
On how to have a test tube baby
Glenda's dad had just died and she was unhappy
If only she could have a baby
So to the disapproval of kevin and his mam
She signed up for a baby
All our mates that we once knew said they were happy
Always shouting in the street, just like you and me
Always finding laughter, fun and games to play
They of course have to agree
Suddenly they were swept off their feet and gone
They don't know what hit them
Just like the rest, the girlfriends got the best
And so the story just goes on
They all get washed for them, even have a bath
But they are now being led, up the garden path
I was sitting in the sun reading the days press
A boy that i once knew was in, i've never seen such a mess
Smiling with a moustache, a suit, a shirt and tie
He had just been wed today
I could not help but laugh, what's got into him?
He looks about forty
He's been such a nit, now he's in for it
And soon you'll hear him say
I was lying on the beach licking cool ice cream
A man, a wife and a pram went by, it was like a dream
He was climbing apple trees just a moon ago
The kind of bloke you think, won't grow
His face is like a fiddle now, long and sad and blue
He still says he's happy
He must have gone mad, cos he's not the lad
That i once used to know
To bombay a travelling circus came, they brought an
Intelligent elephant and nellie was her name
One dark night she slipped her iron chain
And off she ran to hindustan
And was never seen again
Oooooooooooo
Nellie the elephant pack her trunk
And said goodbye to the circus
Off she went with a trumpety trump
Trump trump trump
Now nellie the elephant packed her trunk
And trundled off to the jungle
Off she went with a trumpety trump
Trump trump trump
The head of the herd was calling far far away
They met one night in the silver light
On the road to mandalay
Night by night she danced to the circus band
When nellie was leading the big parade
She looked so proud and grand
No more tricks for nellie to perform
They taught her how to take a bow
And she took the crowd by storm
Oooooooooooo
There was davey, there was davey
There was davey, happy davey
His girlfriend's gone, his girlfriend's gone away, ay ay ay ay
All he wants is a room with the stars looking down across davey
The sun and the moon and the sky high are just fine for poor davey
There's nothing left, there's nothing left
There's nothing left to see for davey
He wants to be, he wants to be
He wants to be alone
Why did she love him so? Why did she have to go?
Poor davey doesn't know, now davey's all alone
She did upset, she did upset
She did upset davey, davey, davey
He won't forget, he won't forget, not davey
Things do go wrong, it's not long since i've been blue
But i know the remedy, i can see just what to do
Don't be a coward, don't be yellow
It always pays to be mellow
Stay cool, stay free and then you will see
It's best to stay mellow
I was upset and in debt with no money
But i did not stay sad, it's not that bad, so remember
Oh if you are down in the town with no bus fare
Start walking and smile, in a while you'll be back home
She was at a party i was stuck at home
I was not invited so she went on her own
I will not be long now this is what she said
I'm stood waiting for her i must be off my head
Queen alexandra road is where she said she'd be
But was she there to meet me? No chance
I was going to land her a thump when i see her you see
She's forgotten about me
It was well past midnight she still dug the groove
I just stood there freezing i couldn't even move
She will soon get sick now want to go back home
There was no sign of her i should have known
Oh rigamortis set in, i was a block of ice
I'd even missed the late film starring vincent price
Two o'clock she turned up, have you been waiting long?
She looked into my eyes sweetly, i said not that long
It's not the first time somebody has had the flu
Remember when you had toothache
A hot lemsip will help the sneezing so
You will have to stay happy
Remember
Worse things happen at sea
Keep dreaming of better days
Keep dreaming of better days
I know its crap when there's something in your eye
Think yourself lucky you've not got a bad back
It's pretty sore when you have a mouth ulcer
But you have got to stay happy
I know it's sad when your face is acne
But don't be put off by some yellow spots
So you got a toenail that his growing in
You have got to stay happy
Well it's one for the money
Two for the show
Three to get ready now go cat go
But don't you step on my blue suede shoes
You can do anything
But keep off my blue suede shoes
Oh! I woke up with a backache
Backache! Backache!
I thought i ought to go to the first aid tin
Where i found something for my backache
Backache! Backache!
I rubbed in some cream and started to scream! Oh no
Chorus:
Firey jack firey jack- it's red hot on your back
Firey jack firey jack- believe me it does knack
Firey jack firey jack- it's red hot on your back
Firey jack
Now i had a back ache on me backache
Backache backache!
I jumped into the bath full of cold water
The firey jack had made me backache
Backache backache
I'm worse than before i can't take anymore
Oh no
Chorus
So if you do get a backache
Backache backache!
And you feel you have to reach for the first aid tin
Think! Life is not that bad with a backache
If you see a tin with firey jack in
Stay away
It’s red hot... On your back... On your back
