Tha' looks a proper swell lass

Tha' looks a proper swell

Y'r diamond rings and pearls and things

Become you very well

But I remember times lass 1983

You lived at the bottom of our road

And you didn't let your parents know

That you went walking out with me

And you done well for yourself lass

No you didn't do so bad

In catching on with pretty John

Old Sally Radcliffe's lad

But I remember times lass

As plain as ABC

You'd steal yourself from out the house

As quiet as a wee brown mouse

To go walking out with me

Now you hold yourself so proud lass

With your nose up in the air

And I hear you plan as your old man

Will be next baron here

But I remember times lass

Before you rode with glee

In a mayor's car with fancy clothes

How you used to don your shoes

To go walking out with me

I'd not be in your shoes lass

I'd not be in your shoes

Though you dine in state of silver plate

At corporation hoose

But I remember times lass

When you thought it quite a spree

In someone's darkened doorway stand

And from a paper in my hand

To eat fish and chips with me

Well I wish you all good luck lass

I wish you all good luck

As being the wife to John for life

And never come unstuck

And the best none to let your old man know

Nor yet your family

For if that a wife without a flaw

You learned a lot a lass should know

From walking out with me
