Текст песни Dare-Devil Dick - George Formby

You've heard of Dick Turpin and bold
Robin Hood, I'm known as one of the click
A bit of gangster a terror to all, the lads call me Dare Devil Dick
I'm fond of a fight over fighting I gloat,
I'm always the first to hold anyone's coat
Dare Devil Dick up to every trick, Dare Devil Dick that's me

Only last week without saying a word
I travelled first class when my ticket was third
I'm a demon, I'm devil may care, full of villainy
Full fare on me ticket they soon made me pay

But I got me own back the very next day
I bought two first class tickets and walked all the way
Dare Devil Dick that's me
Dare Devil Dick up to every trick, Dare Devil Dick that's me

With a girl on a raft I was wrecked on the sea
I was in a short shirt, and she wore a chemise
"Hoist a single" soon she started to shout
"And save us from the sea"

I took off my shirt "They won't see that" she raved
So I grabbed her chemise on the mast it soon waved
When she smiled I said "Gee I don't want to be saved"
Dare Devil Dick that's me

Dare Devil Dick up to every trick, Dare Devil Dick that's me
For a picnic I went with my sweetie one day
We romped in the fields and we sat in the hay
It was lovely till she cried in alarm

"Why, there's a bumble bee"
"Oh be brave and find it", I shouted out "Where?"
She said "Where I'm sitting it's underneath there"
I got stung on the hand, ah but I didn't care
Dare Devil Richard that's me
