Punch And Judy

Gather 'round!

Punch and Judy

Did it truly

And were married in a haste

In love, maybe

Using the baby

As a kind of romance paste

She's grown fatter

Her hair cut shorter

Looks much older than nineteen

He's a drinker

Not a thinker

Baby spoiled his could-have-been

This must be make-believe

This must be make-believe

This must be make-believe

Cause who do we know, dear, who acts like that?

Punch and Judy

Punch and Judy

In a semi

On a brand new council plot

Sunday lunchtime

Beer-for-Punch time

While his dinner's far from hot

She grows tired

Cab is hired

She goes round to see her friend

He comes back late

Fool is irate

We will see his temper bend

This must be make-believe

This must be make-believe

This must be make-believe

Cause who do we know, dear, who acts like that?

Punch and Judy

In a quandary

She's walked out, and he is mad

Now he's grown up

Can't smash home up

Retribution must be had

Punch and Judy

Had a baby

Who brought them to married bliss

Mr Punch,,

Has drunken hunch

That he must punish kid for this

This must be make-believe

This must be make-believe

This must be make-believe

Cause who do we know, dear, who acts like that?
