Lumbered - Anthony Newley
Written by：Bricusse/Newley
I've been trapped lumbered
I have been lumbered
I've been L-U-M-B-E-R-E-D lumbered
But I'm never gonna get lumbered again
I've been L-U-M-B-E-R-E-D lumbered
And I don't L-I-K-E it one small bit
I'm too young to be a father
There are lots of things I'd rather be
Like working down a coal P-I-T pit
When I ought to be completely unencumbered
I've been forced to buy a ring and say Amen
I've been L-U-M-B-E-R-E-D lumbered
But I'm never gonna get lumbered again
I've been L-U-M-B-E-R-E-D lumbered
I'm completely C-H-O-K-E-D choked
Bang all my lovely visions
I've been forced to make decisions
Wish I had a quid for every fag I've smoked
When I think of all the birds with whom I've slumbered
Now I'll only ever see them now and then
At the weekends and whenever the wife's not around
I've been L-U-M-B-E-R-E-D lumbered
But I'm never gonna get lumbered again
If I ever get my hands upon the idiot that wrote
Into every life a little rain must fall
I shall take his book of poems
And I'll stuff 'em up his throat
'Cause it seems to me as though I get it all
I've been L-U-M-B-E-R-E-D lumbered
And the idea doesn't please me very much
I was not prepared for marriage
I would catch a boat from harwich
But I don't speak any D-U-C-H dutch
Though I know it's true a bachelor's days are numbered
I think I should have the choice of saying when
I've been L-U-M-B-E-R-E-D lumbered
But I'm never gonna get lumbered again
I've been L-U-M-B-E-R-E-D lumbered
It's enough to drive a fellow M-A-D
I am scarcely past my childhood
I still play the games a child would
I'm still playing mums and dads as you can see
When I think of all the chicks with whom I've rumba'd
For the wedding march I'm lumbered with a hen
I've been quite unduly well and truly lumbered
But I do you matter I'm never gonna get
Never gonna get never never
Never gonna get never gonna get never never
Never gonna get lumbered again
Never gonna get lumbered again
Never gonna get lumbered again
Never gonna get lumbered again
I've been L-U-M-B-E-R-E-D lumbered
So have I
I've had just about E-N-U-F enough
So have I
For my little bit of pleasure
I've been punished beyond measure
If you ask me I've been treated rather rough
So have I
Like a garrison that's gradually outnumbered
Or a boxer when the count is nearing ten
Down with men
I've been L-U-M-B-E-R-E-D lumbered
I've been lumbered
But I'm never gonna get lumbered again
