It's a Fine Life
guitar chords lyrics
Plummy and Sam!
(Speech)
Small pleasures, small pleasures
Who could deny us these
Gin toddies, large measures
No skimpin if you please!
I rough it
I love it
Life is a game of chance
I never tire ofit
Leading this merry dance
If you dont mind having to go without things
Its a fine life
Though it aint all jolly old plesure outings
Its a fine life
Its a fine life
Though it aint all jolly old plesure outings
Its a fine life
When you got someone to love
You forget your cares and strife
Let the prudes look down on us
Let the wide world frown on us
Its a fine, fine life!
(Speech)
Who cares if straightlaces
Sneer at us in the straight
Fine airs and fine graces
Dont have to sin to eat
We wander
Through London
Who knows what we may find
There's pockets left undone
On many a behind
If you dont mind taking it like it turns out
Its a fine life
Keep the candle burning until it burns out
Its a fine life
Though you sometimes do come by
The occasional black eye
You can always cover one
Till he blacks the other one
But you dont dare cry
No flounces, no feathers
No frills and furbelows
All winds and all weathers
Aint good for fancy clothes
These trappings
These tatters
These we can just afford
What future
What matters
We got our bed and board
If you don't mind having to deal with Fagin
Its a fine life
Though diseased rats threaten to bring the plague in
Its a fine life
But the grass is green and dense
On the right side of the fence
And we take good care of it
That we get our share of it
And we don't mean pence
So if you dont mind having to like or lump it
Its a fine life
Though there's no tea-sipping and eating crumpet
Its a fine life
Not for me
A happy home
Happy husband
Happy Wife
Though it sometimes touches me
For the likes of such as me
Mines a fine, fine life
