[00:00.00] The Lodger (房客) - Jake Thackray
[00:00.99] One one two two two two
[00:12.59] My landlady had three lovely daughters
[00:16.42] They used to come and make
[00:18.00] My bed each day
[00:19.61] They used to come and clean
[00:21.34] My living quarters
[00:23.19] But their mother made quite
[00:24.62] Sure they didn't stay
[00:26.88] There was mary she seemed chary
[00:29.32] There was helen
[00:30.42] She seemed well and truly sceptical
[00:32.19] About my qualities
[00:34.40] There was julie she was truly well proportioned
[00:37.25] But her caution
[00:37.95] Brought exhaustion on my aching arteries
[00:45.05] But I was wrong they weren't
[00:46.76] At all impervious
[00:48.36] To the possibilities of high romance
[00:51.81] And I sensed a certain girlish nerviness
[00:55.36] In the way they folded my pyjama pants
[00:58.29] And I was right for late one night
[01:01.36] Sweet little mary like a fairy
[01:03.41] As I lay sleeping came a creeping to my side
[01:06.91] She was mine it was divine
[01:08.39] But we were doomed for very soon
[01:10.19] Into the room came sister helen and she cried
[01:19.20] Mary go to bed off mary went
[01:25.10] Now young man helen said for your punishment
[01:30.95] We mustn't have a fight we mustn't make a row
[01:37.08] Turn off the light it's my turn now
[01:50.14] Well after all I'm young and relatively vigorous
[01:53.57] And though I still protest my innocence
[01:57.08] By temperament I'm strictly un polygamous
[02:00.50] And if I sinned I sinned in self defence
[02:03.90] Nevertheless I must confess
[02:06.92] I wouldn't miss that sort of bliss
[02:09.05] And when it ended I was rendered comatose
[02:12.36] When loud and clear very near
[02:14.37] In my ear a loud voice spoke
[02:16.51] And I was awoken from my post coital doze
[02:25.01] Helen go to bed helen went away
[02:30.79] Now young man julie said
[02:33.80] You will have to pay
[02:36.67] You've blighted helen's charms
[02:39.88] Filched her purity
[02:42.89] Open up your arms come and filch me
[02:55.67] I was amazed and really rather tired
[02:59.07] I thought I'd given all that I could give
[03:02.50] A little kip was all that I desired
[03:05.99] But I'm british so my upper lip was stiff
[03:09.29] She was chaotic idiotic quite
[03:12.62] Exotic and ecstatic
[03:14.27] Acrobatic and emphatically fine
[03:17.12] All to no good for when I could open my eyes
[03:19.65] To my surprise
[03:20.54] I found her mother looking into mine
[03:29.72] Julie go to bed julie left the scene
[03:35.65] Now listen ma I said I know the old routine
[03:41.66] I'll do what you like but I shall be vexed
[03:47.01] And I'll bloody well go on strike
[03:53.70] If grandma's next
