C G
We had to move 'cos the rent we couldn't pay
D G
The moving van came round just after dark
C G
There was me and my old man shoving things inside the van
D G
Which we'd often done before let me remark
C G
We packed all that could be packed n the van and that's a fact
D G
And we got inside all we could get inside
D G
Then we packed all we could pack on the tail-board at the back
Am D G
Till there wasn't any room for me to ride
C D
My old man said follow the van
G C
And don't dilly dally on the way
G Am
Off went the cart with me 'ome packed in it
D G
I walked behind with me old cock linnet
C G C G
But I dillied and dallied dallied and dillied
C D G
Lost the van and don't know where to roam
C A Dm G
I stopped on the way to have the old half-quartern
C G C
Now I can't find my way 'ome
verse 2
C G
I gave a helping hand with the marble wash-handstand
D G
And straight we wasn't getting on so bad
C G
All at once the carman bloke had an accident and broke
D G
Well the nicest bit of china that we had
C G
You'll understand of course I was cross about the loss
D G
Same as any other human woman would
D G
But I soon got over that what with two-out and a chat
Am D G
'Cos it's little things like that what does you good
C D
My old man said follow the van
G C
And don't dilly dally on the way
G Am
Off went the cart with me 'ome packed in it
D G
I walked behind with me old cock linnet
C G C G
But I dillied and dallied dallied and dillied
C D G
Lost the van and don't know where to roam
C A Dm G
Now who's going to put up the old iron bedstead
C G C
If I can't find my way home
verse 3
C G
Oh I'm in such a mess I don't know the new address
D G
Don't even know the blessed neighbourhood
C G
And I feel as if I might have to stay out all the night
D G
And that ain't going to do me any good
C G
I don't make no complaint but I'm coming over faint
D G
What I want now is a good substantial feed
C G
And I sorta kinda feel if I don't soon have a meal
Am D G
I shall have to rob the linnet of his seed
C D
My old man said follow the van

And don't dilly dally on the way

Off went the cart with me 'ome packed in it

C A Dm G
You can't trust the specials like the old-time coppers
C G C G C
When you can't find your way home
