I'm a lean and unwashed tiffy
I come up from Plymouth town
I can fix it in a jiffy
If you'll hand that spanner down
If you'll hand that spanner down
Portland girls are ravin' beauties
'Specially in the summertime
They'll make you curse these weekend duties
Makin' love to grease and grime
Makin' love to grease and grime
I kissed her standin', kissed her lyin'
Then I called her turtledove
If she'd had wings, I'd've kissed her flyin'
That's the way I won my love
That's thе way I won my love
I'm a lean and unwashed tiffy
I comе up from Plymouth town
I can fix it in a jiffy
If you'll hand that spanner down
If you'll hand that spanner down
She left me for a wardroom chappie
She said he's a better man
She needs wine to keep her happy
All I drink is black and tan
All I drink is black and tan
I'm goin' back to J-Go's mansions
There to end me life on shore
Join up with them barracks stanchions
Go R.A. forevermore
Go R.A. forevermore
I'm a lean and unwashed tiffy
I come up from Plymouth town
I can fix it in a jiffy
If you'll hand that spanner down
If you'll hand that spanner down
