lyrics

Poor old Jessie
Poor old Jessie
Sitting naked in the corner over there
Trying to find the real you
I’m the tax collector
Just give me my due
Yeah that’s me in the uniform
Looking like a swanky swank
Or one of the girls from Barclays bank

Poor old Jessie
You silly old Bessie
Poor old Jessie

This geezer stands and watches me
Muttering about I don’t know what
Like a leaping laughing lunatic
I’ll pay fare to somewhere
And you think I won’t get far
But at least I’ll get to Mexico
And land me a fight with a bull headed matador
And the night will flutter on

Poor old Jessie
Poor old Jessie
Poor old Jessie

They told you only children lie
And you believed them and so did I
Outside the war is nearly over
Everybody runs back in their houses
Better get the kids to school
And ready your jackboots babe
For a grind with man and beast
I saw you walking down the street one time
And I knew you were shopping for compliments
But you won’t get one from me
