03 - H.A. - Percy 1919

You know me
you've met me
you've seen me, no doubt
I'm always up West.
He's always up West
A terror
no error
I dont want to shout,
some lad when I'm dress'd;
Some lad when I'm dress'd.
A chaser
a racer
a pacer
a knut,
The girls say I'm just like a flame;
He's like a flame;
A ripper,
a nipper,
a pipper, tuttut,
so always I'm changing my name,
His name he's always changing.

I'm Percy in Peckham
In Fulham I'm Fred;
I'm Bertie in Balham
In Tooting I'm Ted.
I'm Clarence in Clapham,
I'm Cuthbert in Kew,
And in dear old Piccadilly
I'm the Lord knows who...

The ladies
I love 'em
I love 'em
I do,
They're round me like flies.
They're round him like flies.
The darlings they haunt me,
they haunt me it's true,
I tell them such lies.
He tells them such lies.
I please 'em
I tease 'em
I squeeze 'em
that's so;
What suppers,
what lunches I give.
Lunches he gives.
I slight 'em
delight 'em
I bite 'em
what oh!
I feel to excited to live.
He's too excited to live.

I'm wicked in Wycombe,
In Tulse Hill I'm terse;
In Acton I'm awful
In Waltham I'm worse.
I'm horrid in Hampstead
In Mitcham I'm mad,
and in Dear old Piccadilly
I'm a damn bad lad!
