Lyrics

Sod Off (And Leave Her Be)

There’s a girl named Tubby
And she’s skinny in the middle
Life is getting tough
And her hair is getting brittle
Does she bring it on herself?
Well, maybe just a little
Sod off and leave her be

Daddy used to beat her
With a leather bible belt
Made a bad impression
And it left a little welt
Never met a fellow
Ever knew just how she felt
Sod off and leave her be

Fly flew up her nose
And gave her brow a furrow
Tried to get him out
And believe me she was thorough
Finally sneezed him out
On the streets of Edinburgh
Sod off and leave her be

Took herself a lover as she walked along the beach
Promised her forever
But forever’s out of reach
Mean, nasty sucker
Pulled him off just like a leech
Sod off and leave her be

Men line up but she finds herself alone
Caught her late at night
She was talking on the phone
Thought I heard her crying
Well, maybe just a moan
Sod off and leave her be

Hampstead Heath
It was really sort of scenic
Mosquitoes bled her dry
And left her quite anemic
Don’t tell her not to worry
‘cause she know that you don’t mean it
Sod off and leave her be

Half a pint is fine
Beer, champagne or wine
She looks for signs
In the bottom of her drink

Shape of a unicorn
Devil without a horn
Getting warm
Just one more to help her think

Monkey riding on her hip
He’s heading for her back
Gingerly she scolds him
‘stead of giving him a whack
Found a home in London
Even if it’s just a shack
Sod off and leave her be

There’s a girl named Tubby
She’s skinny in the middle
Laughing so loud
That she drooled a little spittle
Life ain’t getting easier
Well, maybe just a little
Sod off and leave her be
