THEME SONG FROM RHAPSODY IN HUT 13-SWANNINGTON
Has anyone a fag’
‘Oh Annie must you nag?’
‘Are you going out Ray?
‘Yes going out with Sash
Girls, bags and bags of pash
With my honey child’
(One day that dame will drive me wild)
‘Bee have you a fag?’
‘No I haven’t any
But I’m going out with Penny
And he’ll give me some
‘oh Bee you are a one
Going out again
In all this pouring rain’
‘Well its worth going for’
‘Bee it won’t get you anywhere’
‘That’s what you think’
‘I think I’m going for a drink
Up to Ye Olde Naafi, are you coming Cathie?
‘No I’ll not come, bring me back a Naafi Wad
And a concrete bun’
‘Did you say you’d come Jan?’
‘Yes I’ll come with you Ann, but when I come back
I have my bag to pack, and some ironing to do,
Then I’ve quite a few things to get together,
And I’m wondering whether I should really wash my hair-
But then-I’ll wait till I get home,
Oh dear I can’t believe tomorrow I’ll be on leave
Look out mum, here I come’
‘Rita have you a fag?’
‘I’ve only matches in my bag and bother I’ve to phone’
Says Rita with a groan, ‘to tell them I’m going to the Section
Chiefy has a selection of eggs and bacon
Poor Tom he’ll thing he’s forsaken
I haven’t written for ages and he writes me pages and pages
I guess I’ll write him tomorrow’
‘Won’t anyone let me borrow
Just ONE fag’
‘For the sake of our sanity Annie
[inserted] Go & [/inserted] Put your head in a bag!
Has anyone a fag’
‘Oh Annie must you nag?’
‘Are you going out Ray?
‘Yes going out with Sash
Girls, bags and bags of pash
With my honey child’
(One day that dame will drive me wild)
‘Bee have you a fag?’
‘No I haven’t any
But I’m going out with Penny
And he’ll give me some
‘oh Bee you are a one
Going out again
In all this pouring rain’
‘Well its worth going for’
