Not Drowning, Waving – Mr. Pooh (Do Be A Don’t Be) lyrics

Mr. Pooh wakes up before he gets up,
he gets up before he wakes,
Came in drunk again last night, out with the boys
on a Wednesday nights, he was a mess.
Happy home with a garden gnome and a painting by
his Auntie Merle, it's real bizarre,
Walks into the bathroom wall, says "it should not be here at all, oh I don't know"
And it's off to work we go, hi ho
(he dreams) Do be a don't be, Don't be a do be.

He goes for the knuckle when he goes for the sauce,
but he goes for the sauce when he's bored of course,
that's everyday.
And it's a hard day, work, bang head against the
wall day but that's okay.
He seems as if he's had enough as he goes to town on
the morning bus, he's feeling sick,
he keeps on keeping on, life's not meant to have some fun,
and it's off to work we go, hi ho
(he dreams) Do be a don't be. Don't be a do be.

There's no such thing as love he says as he falls to
the ground which he keeps for a nest, it's cosy and warm.
Then he croons to Mrs. Thirty Eight who lives across
the neighbour's fence, he thinks she's so fine.
He thinks he fancies her tea towels and the gowns
she wears to bingo, she could make his day.
Brian told me the other day, all the way with the USA, that's for sure.
And it's off to sleep he goes, hi ho,
(he dreams) Do be a don't be. Don't be a do be.
