letra de when father said he'd pay the rent - george formby sr.
the ‘ouse that we are livin’ in, it’s never cost a cent
although pa’s lived there twenty years, ’e’s never paid the rent
but one day ‘e told mother, that he thought it time ‘e did
the shock so upset mother that she fainted with the kids
the canary fell down off it’s perch and murmered, ‘goodbye all!”
the pictures from the nails all slipped and tumbled off the wall
the fire went out, the boiler burst, the dog refused to bark
and little willie tried to eat the railings ’round the park
on the day that father said ‘e’d pay the rent
the servants in disgust, packed up and went
all the children started cryin’ and the tom-cat lay down, dyin’
on the day that father said ’e’d pay the rent
at last the landlord called, he always did it, ’round our way
and papa said, ‘i’m glad you came, i’m going to pay, today.’
then the landlord took a shiver and he turned blue, green and red
the shock ‘ad been so much for ‘im, the landlord dropped down dead
the neighbours all came rushing out and shouted in one breath
‘your father’s silly ‘onesty has caused that poor man’s death!’
two men in uniform marched up with papa in between
if i live to be a hundred i shall ne’er forget the scene
on the day that father said ‘e’d pay the rent
that night to an asylum ‘e was sent
for ‘e’s in a room that’s padded, on the door these words are added
‘this is the man that said ‘e’d pay the rent.’
