(ian hunter)



(transcribed by adrian perkins; minor correction by colin ford)



How ya doin - all right?



I-i-i spy with my little eye

Something beginning with you

Drool drool drool nearly fell off me stool

I hope you fancy me too

Now I dont wanna set the world on fire

Any old iron, any old iron will do (all right)



Smirk smirk smirk the g n ts work

She can knock em back like a fish

Smarm smarm smarm I turned up me charm

I think Im on a promise (he thinks hes on a promise)

Some say yes n some say no

And my old man says mind how you go

A little bit o this, a little bit o that

If you cant take a joke well sod ya

(oh) Im a dysfunctional chap

n they call me the artful dodger



Chat chat chat its back to the flat

I strum me little spanish guitar

Gloat gloat gloat she said n Ill quote

you can take down my particulars (take down her particulars)

Its a funny old life if you weaken, innit?

You gonna have a laugh, yeah youve gotta give it

A little bit o this, a little bit o that

Look out for pc plodger

If a jobs worth doin its worth doin well

n they call me the artful dodger



(get on yer bike!)

I said yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

If you cant take a joke well sod ya

(oh) Im a bit of a lad

n they call me the artful dodger

(now) a little bit o this, a little bit o that

Hoist up the jolly roger

Thats the way to do it!

Call me the artful dodger

n Im doin all right

Yes Im doin all right, yes Im doin all right

Yes Im doing very well, thank you

How ya doin all right (were doin all right)

How ya doin all right (were doin all right)

How ya doin all right (yeah were doin all right)

How ya doin all right (were doin all right)

They call me the artful dodger

They call me the artful dodger

They call me the artful dodger

... (repeat and fade)
