Harry Rag

Oh, Tom is young and Tom is bold

Tom is as bold as a night of old

But whenever he gets in a bit of a jam

There's nothing we won't do to get a harry rag

Harry rag, harry rag

Do anything just to get a harry rag

And he curses himself for the life he's lead

Then he rolls himself a harry rag and puts himself to bed

Oh, Tom's old mum is a dying lass

Soon they reckon she'll be pushing up the grass

And her bones might ache and her skin might sag

But she's still got enough strength to have a harry rag

Harry rag, harry rag

Do anything just to get a harry rag

And she curses himself for the life he's lead

Then she rolls herself a harry rag and puts herself to bed

Oh, bless your taxman bless your home

He may take some, but will never take it all

But if I give it all, I won't feel sad

As long as I have enough to buy a harry rag

Harry rag, harry rag

Do anything just to get a harry rag

And I curse myself for the life I've led

Then I roll myself a harry rag and put myself to bed

Oh, the smart young ladies of the land

Can't relax without a harry in their hand

Then they light one up and they boast and brag

So content because they got a harry rag

Harry rag, harry rag

Do anything just to get a harry rag

Then they light one up and they boast and brag

So content because they got a harry rag

Hey, harry rag, harry rag

I'll do anything just to get a harry rag

And I curse myself for the life I've led

Then I roll myself a harry rag and put myself to bed
