My Old Man Lyrics - Live At Rockpalast 1978 - Ian Dury & The Blockheads

My old man wore three piece whistles 

He was never home for long 

Drove a bus for London Transport 

He knew where he belonged 

Number 18 down to Euston 

Double decker move along 

Double decker move along 

My old man 

Later on he drove a Roller 

Chauffeuring for foreign men 

Dropped his aitches on occasion 

Said, "Cor blimey" now and then 

Did the crossword in the Standard 

At the airport in the rain 

At the airport in the rain 

My old man

Wouldn't ever let his governers 

Call him 'Billy', he was proud 

Personal reasons make a difference 

His last boss was allowed 

Perhaps he had to keep his distance 

Made a racket when he rowed 

Made a racket when he rowed 

My old man 

My old man 

My old man was fairly handsome 

He smoked too many cigs 

Lived in one room in Victoria 

He was tidy in his digs 

Had to have an operation 

When his ulcer got too big 

When his ulcer got too big 

My old man 

Photos 

My old man 

Seven years went out the window 

We met as one to one 

Died before we'd done much talking 

Relations had begun 

All the while we thought about each other 

All the best mate, from your son 

All the best mate, from your son 

My old man 

My old man
