Don't Gi' Mi Dad a Mid-week Sub

 

Don’t gi’ mi Dad a mid-week sub

He’ll piss it against a wall

Hang on… t’ya dosh till the job is done

Then you can gi’ ‘im it all

 

Don’t gi’ mi Dad a mid-week sub

NO…. wait till the job is over

If he’s brass in ‘is pocket…. ‘e wain’t come back

Leastways…. He wain’t come back sober

 

He’s fast-and-rough..... wi’out a drink

But He loses his speed…. after beers

So if ya gi’ ‘im a mid-week sub

You know that it’ll all end in tears

 

Don’t sub mi dad a penny

Cos ya know that he’ll spend it in t'pub

NO…Wait until he’s finished the job

Don’t gi’ ‘im a mid-week sub
