lyrics

Don’t want to steal or rob
But I’m out of a job
And my Mandy keeps on nagging all the time, time, time
She just keeps on a-nagging all the time.

Honey, if you say so
I won’t work no more
I’ll just lay around your daddy’s all the time, time, time
I’ll lay around your daddy’s all the time.

Oh, these times are rough
Wish I had some snuff
And I’d keep my Mandy dipping all the time, time, time
I’d keep her brush a-dipping all the time.

Times is risky
Wish I had some whiskey,
And I’d keep my Mandy boozy all the time, time, time
I’d keep her good and boozy all the time.

For time’s is hard
And I’m out of lard
And Mandy keeps on nagging all the time, time, time
She just keeps on nagging all the time.
