The Kinks - Harry Rag текст песни

Ah, Tom is young and Tom is bold,
Tom is as bold as the knights of old,
But whenever he gets in a bit of a jam
There's nothing he won't do
To get a harry rag

Harry rag, harry rag,
Do anything just to get a harry rag,
And he curses himself
For the life he's led
And rolls himself a harry rag
And puts himself to bed.

Ah, Tom's old ma is a dying lass,
Soon they all reckon
She'll be pushing up the grass,
And her bones might ache,
And her skin might sag,
But still she's got the strength
To have a harry rag

Harry rag, harry rag,
Do anything just to get a harry rag,
And she curses herself
For the life she's led
And rolls herself a harry rag
And puts herself to bed.

Ah, bless you tax men, bless you all,
You may take some
But you never take it all,
But if I give it all, I won't feel sad
As long as I have got enough
To buy a harry rag

Harry rag, harry rag,
Do anything just to get a harry rag,
And I curse myself
For the life I've led
And roll myself a harry rag
And put myself to bed.

Ah, the smart young ladies of the land
Can't relax
Without a harry in their hand,
And they light one up
And they boast and brag,
So content because they got a harry rag

Harry rag, harry rag,
Do anything just to get a harry rag
And they'll light one up
And they'll boast and brag,
So content because they got a harry rag.

Harry rag, harry rag,
I'll do anything
Just to get a harry rag,
And I curse myself
For the life I've led
And roll myself a harry rag
And put myself to bed.
