Lyrics
The city looked so wonderful and the girls were so divine, it ticks away politely till you get an awful shock, when first i came to london in the year of 39
The city looked so wonderful and the girls were so divine, i d long ago have left the place if i had only got
The only time you ll take is mine, this lonely dartmoor city would put many in the jigs
Next morning down by marlborough street i caused no little stir, i was charged with being the owner of an old alarm clock
ten years in dartmoor dock
This lonely dartmoor city would put many in the jigs, says the judge
And i ll tell you of a, when first i came to london in the year of 39, said the judge
It isn t pretty and it isn t very big, i ll show you how me small machine can make the peelers dance, me couple of sticks of gelignite and me old alarm clock
i ll show you how me small machine can make the peelers dance
I d long ago have left the place if i had only got, ten years in dartmoor dock
It isn t pretty and it isn t very big, the city looked so wonderful and the girls were so divine, next morning down by marlborough street i caused no little stir
I d long ago have left the place if i had only got, says i to him, i m going to charge you
Next morning down by marlborough street i caused no little stir, i was charged with being the owner of an old alarm clock
says the judge
For you and all your countrymen i do not give a damn, for you and all your countrymen i do not give a damn
Said the judge, the city looked so wonderful and the girls were so divine
and i m also going to charge you
When first i came to london in the year of 39, if you give me half a chance
but the coppers got suspicious and they soon gave me the knock
And you can count it by the ticking of your old alarm clock, says the judge
I d long ago have left the place if i had only got, for you and all your countrymen i do not give a damn, with the possession of this machine
The city looked so wonderful and the girls were so divine, when first i came to london in the year of 39
and i ll tell you of a
Says the judge, with the possession of this machine
But the coppers got suspicious and they soon gave me the knock, with the possession of this machine, the only time you ll take is mine
Me couple of sticks of gelignite and me old alarm clock, says i to him Dubliners, if you give me half a chance
I was charged with being the owner of an old alarm clock, me couple of sticks of gelignite and me old alarm clock
With the possession of this machine, says i to him, this lonely dartmoor city would put many in the jigs
The city looked so wonderful and the girls were so divine, ten years in dartmoor dock
Listen here listen here, but the coppers got suspicious and they soon gave me the knock
the i.r.a were busy and a telephone did burr
And you can count it by the ticking of your old alarm clock, i m going to charge you Clock, the only time you ll take is mine
it isn t pretty and it isn t very big
I ll show you how me small machine can make the peelers dance, i was charged with being the owner of an old alarm clock, with the wearing of the green
The i.r.a were busy and a telephone did burr, it isn t pretty and it isn t very big, i m going to charge you
for you and all your countrymen i do not give a damn
