It's
Not Cricket
(Difford/Tilbrook)

song we have yet to see.
She used to do a topless down at the Surrey
Docks
With tassels on her whatsits she did a t'riffic
job
Of raising all the eyebrows of every lunchtime
mob
She went with all the tossers who kick about
a ball
They say their club's the greatest, and
she has kissed them all
At the Arndale Center, she's up against
the wall
I can't name names cause that's not cricket
I can't name names that would put me in
it
But that's another story in the finish
I saw them at the pictures a tangled heap
of love
He had so many women, but only classy stuff
I saw him at the clinic, a pink card up
his cuff
One holiday in Bognor a stag night hit the
town
The groom is in the car park with his trousers
down
But that's another story that won't be going
round
I can't name names cause that's not cricket
I can't name names that would put me in
it
But that's another story in the finish
The Deptford had a beano to Southend for
the night
With 40 crates of lager, to see the Southend
lights
The got home for their breakfast pissed
out of their minds
This girl gave me the minces so I asked
her for a dance
And in the death I kissed her and so I took
a chance
And when I went to touch her, she tried
to break my arm
I can't name names cause that's not cricket
I can't name names that would put me in
it
But that's another story in the finish
