Lively! - Lonnie Donegan
Written by：Lonnie Donegan/Peter Buchanan
Now lively is a funny word
It means a lot of things
But to the burglar people
An urgent call it brings
'Cause when they breakin' open safes
Or nailin' up old vans
Lively just means
Scarper boys to all the different gangs
Lively lively the night is going fast
Lively lively we both got murky pasts
Lively lively don't leave that block untied
'Cause if you did it's a penny to a quip
That we both end up inside
We broke into a spinster's house
While she was known in prayer
She was praying for a men
What for she didn't care
We had to dive beneath the bed
The dust pan there made us sneeze
Oh that was quick the old girl cried
Jumped up to her knees
Lively lively the night is going fast
Lively lively we both got murky pasts
Lively lively don't leave this block untied
'Cause if you did it's a penny to a quid
That we both end up inside
Now we rehearsed for days and days
A smash 'n' grab to do
You throw the brick one bloke said
And I'll leave the grab to you
The brick went through the window
Now grab they cried and quick
It wasn't till we got away I've found I grabbed
That brick
Oh lively lively yeah
I sang this song once at a policemen' dance
But I wasn't singing for coppers
Was a gangster
While I've run once form the law I ran into
A church
I mixed with lots of people just to confuse the
Search
I've found meself right at the front the best place
I could hide
I had a fright when some bloke's said got ring
Here comes the bride
Ooops
Lively lively the night is going fast
Lively lively we both got murky pasts
Lively lively don't leave this block untied
'Cause if you did it's a penny to a quip
That we both end up inside
The shop steward of our union
Was up before the judge
Who sent his name to 18 months asked if you
Lodged a grudge
The maximum is twelve me Lord the judge replied what rots
You always wanted time in a half and that's just
What you've got
Lively lively the night is going fast
Lively lively we both got murky pasts
Lively lively don't leave that block untied
'Cause if you did it's a penny to a quid
I go blimey it comes I me
Love love comes any jab
Those band member and here we go
Yet another voice here comes the copper
I want some beer and if you are near
We both end up insiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiide
