MY OLD MUM
Harrington / Turner

as rec by Max Miller   1950


I'm an ordinary Cockney bloke and talkin's not my line,
I like to hear the other's view I tell 'im mine;
But there's someone I could talk about for hours and hours on end,
Although she's not a cover girl, she ain't half been a friend!

Oh, I ain't 'alf proud of my old mum,
The finest pal a fellow ever had!
She looked after me when I was just a kid,
She put me right when I was wrong, no matter what I did!

Oh, I ain't 'alf proud when she's walking down the street,
'Cause I know what she's been through;
But now I'm in the money and I've got some L S D,
I'm lookin' after my old mum as she looked after me!
Oh, I ain't 'alf proud of my old mum,
And she ain't 'alf proud of me!

Now all together, now then!

Oh, I ain't 'alf proud of my old mum,
The finest pal a fellow ever had!
She looked after me when I was just a kid,
She put me right when I was wrong, no matter what I did!

Oh, I ain't 'alf proud when she's walking down the street,
'Cause I know what she's been through;
But now I'm in the money and I've got some L S D,
I'm lookin' after my old mum as she looked after me!
Oh, I ain't 'alf proud of my old mum,
And she ain't 'alf proud of me!

Now I'm in the money and I've lots of L S D,
I'm lookin' after my old mum as she looked after me!
Oh, I ain't 'alf proud of my old mum,
And she ain't 'alf proud of me!
