歌词
"Right", said Fred, "Both of us together"
"One each end and steady as we go"
Tried to shift it, couldn't even lift it
We was gettin' nowhere
And so, we had a cup of tea
And, "Right", said Fred, "Give a shout for Charlie"
Up comes Charlie from the floor below
After strainin', heavin' and complainin'
We was gettin' nowhere
And so, we had a cup of tea
And Charlie had a think
And he thought we ought
To take off all the handles
And the things wot held the candles
But, it did no good
Well, I never thought it would
"All right", said Fred, "Have to take the feet off"
"To get them feet off wouldn't take a mo'"
Took its feet off, even took the seat off
Should have got us somewhere, but no
So Fred said, "Let's have another cup of tea"
And we said, "Right-o"
♪
"All right", said Fred, "Have to take the door off"
"Need more space to shift the so-and-so"
Had bad twinges takin' off the hinges
And it got us nowhere
And so, we had a cup of tea
And "Right", said Fred, "Have to take the wall down"
"That there wall is gonna have to go"
Took the wall down, even with it all down
We was gettin' nowhere
And so, we had a cup of tea
And Charlie had a think, and he said
"Look, Fred, I got a sort of feelin'"
"If we remove the ceilin'"
"With a rope or two"
"We could drop the blighter through"
"All right", said Fred, climbin' up a ladder
With his crowbar, gave a mighty blow
Was he in trouble, half a ton of rubble
Landed on the top of his dome
So Charlie and me had another cup of tea
And then we went home
I said to Charlie, "We'll just have to leave it"
"Standin' on the landin', that's all"
"You see, the trouble with Fred is, he's too hasty"
"And you'll never get nowhere if you're too hasty"
