| The Gloves are off. There was a young boxer from Wrexham oh her muscles she did like to flex ’em “It’s handy” she said “when my bloke mentions bed If I’m not in the mood I just decks ‘im!” | Shadows I once saw a bloke in Carmarthen who looked quite a lot like Hank Marvin He took out a harp So I looked at him sharp And asked “Don’t you play the guitar then?” |
