You Better Be Doubtful - The Housemartins

Tinker, you better place another bet

The rich up in the castle haven’t finished eating yet

They’ll throw you a bone or a spat-out stone

But knowing them, that’s all you’ll get

Tailor, you better close another shop

No-one wants your quality, make do with what you’ve got

They’ll let you survive, they’ll let you get by

But knowing them, they’ll let you rot

(You better be doubtful) you better be doubtful

(You better beware, ware, ware) you better beware

(You better not shout now) you better not shout, now

(You better not care, care, care) you better not care

Tinker, you better buy another boot

Those 'Poker Continental' are finally showing through

We’ll get you a pair from a second-hand fair

They’ll only have a 'two'

Sailor, you better sink a few more ships

Admiral loony Nelson cannot find his game of Risk

We’ll lose a few lives, a couple of tribes

But knowing him, he’ll lick his lips

From Queen Wilkinds to Queen Victoria

We’ve had a promising side

From King Callaghan to Bonny Prince Francis

We’ve paid up and we’ve cried

Princess Gower and Princess Ferguson

We’ve looked a hard nut to crack

But we’re weak at the

But we’re weak at the

But we’re weak at the back!
