13. "Mona, Where's My Trousers?" (Kevin Coyne)

Mona, where's me trousers, they're right upstairs
Mona, where's me trousers, they're right upstairs

Under the meat safe there's a place
Where your father keeps his face
He gives it lots of steam and heat
But on a Saturday night his face is in his feet

Mona, where's me trousers, they're upstairs
Mona, where's me trousers, they're upstairs

La la la la, who's that singing that song?
La la la la, he must be barmy or something
La la la la, your father's gone away
La la la la, he's gone away on a ship, he's gone away on a ship

Mona, where's me trousers, they're right upstairs
Mona, where's me trousers, they're right upstairs
They're right upstairs
They're right upstairs

And now Dennis is going to school now
And his face is just the same as his Dad's
His face is angry and bitter
When he hides it under the fridge
But on a Saturday night he's different
When he's had beer, he's had beer

La la la la, who's that singing that song?
La la la la, who's that singing that song?
La la la la, he must be barmy, he's gone wrong
La la la la, who's that singing that song?

It didn't really matter because he didn't really mean to hurt me, he didn't mean to upset me, I mean, when he smacked me, it was quite... it was quite alright because that's his right, really, he is my father and he didn't really mean to hurt me but it was when he took me outside and he took me wellingtons off my wellingtons, he took my wellies off and then he took my shoes and threw 'em in the garden and then I felt ever so unhappy but there was really no point in crying because when I cry he just laughs at me and well, after some time, I do lie sometimes, I know but anyway I went to school and Miss Baxter, Miss Baxter said I was being a good boy and that I didn't deserve to be punished but there you are, I didn't deserve to be punished but anyway I didn't mean to lose that coat, no I... I left it in the cloak room, it was there when I left but afterwards it seems to have gone, it was a new, it was a new duffle coat and I went down... I went down by the docks and I was, I was watching this man in a rowing boat and the boat was sinking, and the boat was sinking and then there was this silly man who kept calling me names, he took away me sweets 'cos I spent four pence on sweets, four pence on sweets, four pence on sweets, four pence on sweets, four pence on sweets, four pence on sweets, four pence on sweets, four pence on sweets, that's a lot of money but then again I didn't mean to do it and he smacked me, he smacked me like... he smacked me, he smacked me, I didn't mean to do it, I didn't, I didn't mean to do it, I didn't mean to do it, I'm sorry Dad, I didn't mean to do it, sorry Dad, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do it, I'm sorry, didn't mean to do it, didn't mean to do it, didn't mean to do it
