lyrics

I am a bold, bad Bolshevik, to Bolsh is my delight
I'm busy bolshing all the day, and then I bolsh at night
I'm awfully good at murdering, and as I'm unemployed
I've made a little list of those who've got to be destroyed.

I'm going to murder SImpson, the undertakers man
All day he's making coffins, he buries all he can
I'm feeling slightly queer and if the worst came to the worst
He'd bury me if I died, so I'm going to kill him first

I'm going to kill our baker. I'm going to kill him dead
For last night with the 'housemaids knee' I hear he went to bed
I'll teach him to be decent, and kneeling on his chest
I'll say, 'you had the housemaid's knee, but where was all the rest?'

I'm going to kill our servant, for in the bathroom door
She bored a little hole and all the family said, 'What for?'
She said 'twould let the steam out and they laughed upon my life
But I saw through the notion and she went and told the wife.


I'm going to kill our Parson. He's got to pass away
For at the local Parish Church upon my wedding day
'Twas him that made me say 'I will' - of all the dirty tricks
'Twill show you what they stoop to do for a paltry seven and six.


I'm going to kill our milkman. His skull I mean to crack
For in the milk this morn I found a stickleback
That fish came from his own cow, I've not the slightest doubt
Why doesn't he milk elephants and let me have a trout.

The Blood Tub Orchestra London, UK

Songs of the British Music Hall as no one intended them to be heard!

A London based musical rabble (as in Websters definition of ‘a large group of loud people who could become violent.’). A group of individuals now busy dragging up evil smelling offerings from demolished music halls, deconsecrated chapels and boarded up public houses. ... more
