tony rose - compliments returned lyrics

Loading...

well now you’ve called on me to sing and i’ll see what i can do
but i don’t know what to sing about unless it be one of you
you’ve often said nice things of me, and i know very well it’s true
so i’ll just return the compliment and say what i think of you
folerol le riddle ol, folerol le ray

with this young men i will begin ’cause he is the first in sight
pray, sir, where did you get the tin you’re spending here tonight?
your conscience pr-cks you, i’ve no doubt, you know very well it’s true
you’ve been and put something up the spout, so i don’t think much of you
folerol le riddle ol, folerol le ray

now there’s a young man sitting there and i know he’s in disgrace
before your coming here tonight you should have washed your face
but soap, he says, is very dear, to buy it, it won’t do
you think a great deal of yourself, but i don’t think much of you
folerol le riddle ol, folerol le ray

and there’s a young girl sitting there, i know she thinks it right
she never goes out with her young man but she stays out half the night
now you may laugh and wink at me, but i know very well it’s true
well, your mother, miss, she told me this, so i don’t think much of you
folerol le riddle ol, folerol le ray

now there’s a couple sitting there, they make it a regular plan
he kisses her and tells to her that he’s a single man
but i tell you he’s a married man and children has got two
and his wife says he can’t keep himself so i’m sure he can’t keep you
folerol le riddle ol, folerol le ray

but now i think i’ll shut my trap and not say any more
but there’s a young girl sitting there that i’ve seen somewhere before
she says she wants to speak to me and what she wants i know
but i tell you i’m a married man and i can’t come home with you
folerol le riddle ol, folerol le ray

but now i’ll not say any more in case i make too free
and if i’ve tried to make you laugh, don’t think the worse of me
for all i’ve said has been in jest and not a word is true
and i hope you’ll think as much of me as i do think of you
folerol le riddle ol, folerol le ray
