Meet The Family From the Show: The Crooked Mile, 1959 Composer(s): Greenwell; Wildeblood Performer(s): Millicent Martin & Elisabeth Welch
If a man gets the idea that youre flippety-jibbedy And starts gettin ready to take a diabolical liberty If he gives you a line youre not keen on swallowing Give him an old-fashioned look And repeat the following
(Chorus) Ta, ever so, ever so ta That was a lovely compliment But please remember, Im a lady And youre supposed to be a gent No, we cannot make it a date Im too young to stop out late But please, tomorrow come to tea And meet the family
Dear ol dads an all-in wrestler Weighing-in at nineteen stones Brother Bills a bonnie builder And his hobbys breaking bones Sister Mona tears a phone book Into little tiny shreds Come along and meet em Come along and greet em Theyre a family of thoroughbreds
(Chorus)
Theres a bloodhound in the kitchen Hasnt had a bite all day Uncle Arthurs back in Dartmoor Aunties with the I.R.A Grandmas digging in the cellar No-one knows where grandpa is Theyre a lot of smasher Bruisers, boozers, bashers Theyre a family of savages
(Chorus)
Come along and meet em Come along and greet em Meet the family
