You Better Be Doubtful Lyrics by Housemartins

You Better Be Doubtful Lyrics

    Tinker, you better place another bet
    The rich up in the castle haven't finished eating yet
    They'll throw you a bone or a spat-out stone
    But knowing them that's all you'll get
    Tailor, you better close another shop
    No-one wants your quality, make do with what you've got
    They'll let you survive
    The'll let you get by
    But knowing them, they'll let you rot

    You better be doubtful
    You better beware
    You better not shout now
    You better not care

    Tinker, you better buy another boot
    Those "Pocock Continental" are finally showing through
    We'll get you a pair
    From a second-hand fair
    They'll only have 'a two'

    Sailor, you better sink a few more ships
    Admiral loony Nelson cannot find his game of risk
    We'll lose a few lives
    A couple of tribes
    But knowing him he'll like his lips

    You better be doubtful
    You better beware
    You better not shout now
    You better not care

    From Queen Wilkinds to Queen Victoria
    We've had a promising side
    From King Callaghan to Bonny Prince Francis
    We've paid up and we've cried
    Princess Gower and Princess Ferguson
    We've looked a hard nut to crack
    But we're weak at the.........Back!
