The Edgar Broughton Band - The Rake Lyrics

(R.E. Broughton)

I was looking through her greasy draws to see what I could find
I found the Ten Commandments stamped on her backside
Her phone rang from her husband to show her that he cares
I hope she told him how she was but didn't tell him where

Look at all the world going to a wake
Let's run away worldly girlie do it with the rake

They said she had some children but their father's never in
He likes to play monopoly but never seems to win
She even told the doctor who said that's quite alright
Then I took out my stethoscope and she put out the lights

Look at all the world going to a wake
Let's run away worldly girlie do it with the rake

They say that I'll be crinkled up and old before I'd planned
I got my eye on you my dear as we came in to land
Please do up your safety belts I hope the flight was good
I smiled at your uniform and nipped you in the bud

Look at all the world going to a wake
Let's run away worldly girlie do it with the rake
