Cliff Richard - You Never Can Tell lyrics
[Cliff Richard - You Never Can Tell lyrics]
The world the other day
When he told me the strangest thing
That happened down the way a customer
The quietest man you'd ever wish to meet
Suddenly dragged out his wife and
Beat her in the street
Well, well, well it only goes to show
You never can tell
Years ago I knew a man
Big Jimmy was his name
He used to work at mining coal
And fighting was his game
He bought a little puppy dog
That caught a chill and died
And do you know, that great big man
Just broke right down and cried
Well, well, well it only goes to show
You never can tell
The milkman and I both agreed
It's a funny old world indeed
Read a lot in the papers to make you think
Take a drink in a while
Got to smile sometimes
A while ago they built a ship
The finest of it's day
With every modern aid to guide
It safely on it's way
Went on it's maiden voyage, it's unsinkable
They said but four days from Southampton it
Was on the ocean bed well, well, well
It only goes to show you never can tell
Well, well, well it only goes to show
You never can tell
