every time I look at
you I'm so glad that you're the
one I've been growing closer
to as the years have come and
gone sharing for good or
ill hardly a day
aart old out side but still
young at heart
[Music]
oh so you've got up then I've been up
for ages I thought you were going to
have a li in no no no I wanted to press
me
trousers like a cup of tea oh I'd love
one oh well the kettle's
boiling
Albert what up you've got no trousers on
well I couldn't very well press and with
them on could I but it's not decent
wondering about your underpant suppose
somebody came to the door well all they
could see is me legs you talk as if I'm
standing here in the nude put your
trousers on before anybody comes
somebody already has come who oh Mrs
Lawson next door but one oh my God yes

think she
was I I uh went to uh open the uh door
and the wind Bloomer sht
up you get worse anyway there there's
nothing shameful about the human body
that's only your opinion I mean it's
only because we've covered it up that
we're ashamed of what we've got you
speak for yourself I mean they never
wore nothing in the old days did they
who didn't prehistoric men I mean they
never had threepiece suits and frocks
I'd like to think we'd come on a bit
since then yeah
well it's stuffed when you think about
it what is wearing
clothes I mean we all we all know what
we've got underneath that's no reason to
flaunt
it well I think the world would be a
better place if we all went round in the
nude oh don't talk so stupid no no no I
mean it if we all went around naked we'd
have equality well I don't don't know
about
equality but we'd all have

have it for
nothing it it gets

a house on fire did you know that he
hadn't got a job he doesn't need a job
he's got his own
business
oh
satisfied oh well uh has he asked you to
marry him
why well if you're good enough to live
with you're good enough to be his wife
now listen Dad no you listen to me I
know it's
1982 and I know I'm a bit oldfashioned
but I'll not have you living in sin who
says it's a sin it's in the Bible
whereabouts I I don't know I don't know
but it's in there somewhere now look Mr
all right Alan I'll take care of this
the Tea's getting old so uh you don't
approve of us living together then Dad

up to
Dad he well you'll be paying for

guest list down to about what
50 shouldn't cost you more than about
£500 help yourself to Milk and Sugar
[Music]
well well what you were the one who
wanted to go out for a walk to think
have your thought I
well well I reckon if we start saving up
now we'll have enough to pay for the
reception in about 10 years time on the
other hand if prices keep Rising the way
they have been by that time it'll be
double and we'll have to start again
what are we going to do well perhaps
they'd uh perhaps they'd settle for just
a small wedding or just just the two of
us and a takeaway after perhaps I should
just live in
sin well it's one we the other Albert
