Chorus: I says says I, I say to him, say I, I says, says, says I to him, I says, says I, I says tot him, there'll have to be some changes. The prices all are going up in every shop, they never stop, You pay for a loaf, you get a bap, there'll have to be some changes. Chorus There is no work, so take a stroll and sign your name upon the dole, They'll give you cash, but take your soul, there'll have to be some changes. Chorus To England we have sent our sons with their degrees and wellingtons, And England's sons come here with guns, there'll have to be some changes. Chorus And I myself have left the farm, the Common Marked did the harm, There's going to be an awful storm unless there are some changes. Chorus So play a reel and dance a jig or skin a frog and make a wig, I'll have to go back to smuggling pigs, unless there are some changes. Chorus So now I'll bid youse all good night, I'll close the door and douse the light, And what you said, now you might be right, tomorrow might bring some changes. Chorus | ||
