The Sideboard Song (Got My Beer In The Sideboard Here) - Chas & Dave

Mother phoned up last night she was going spare

She was in a temper pulling out her hair

«Your sister’s courtin' a scruffy looking Ted

Father don’t give a monkey’s and this is what he said»

«I don’t care, I don’t care, I don’t care if he comes round here

I got my beer in the sideboard here let mother sort it out

If he comes round here»

I said to me mother let me have a talk to dad

So he comes to the telephone, he wasn’t half mad

Says «Shes got no sense the silly little cow

And if he comes round here there’s gonna be a row!»

«I'll tell you something else an' all he’s never got a job

He hangs around the betting shop the lazy little yob»

Mother says «Calm down dad he’s alright

They’re out there snogging in the passage all night»

«Think he was a tramp with a stubble on his chin;

He looks like something that the cats brought in

Never got no money, smokes all my fags

Got holes in his soles and he’s hanging in rags!»

On top of that he says «I tell you why I got the hump

She had a skinny little belly now its sticking out the front

There’s nothing seems to fit her she’s a running out of clothes

If he thinks he’s takin' liberties I’ll punch him on the nose!»
