[XTC - Punch And Judy lyrics]
Gather 'round!
Punch and Judy did it truly
And were married in a haste in love, maybe
Using the baby as a kind of romance paste
She's grown fatter her hair cut shorter
Looks much older than nineteen
He's a drinker not a thinker
Baby spoiled his could have-been
This must be make-believe
This must be make-believe
This must be make-believe
Cause who do we know, dear
Who acts like that?
Punch and Judy
Punch and Judy in a semi
On a brand new council plot sunday lunchtime
Beer-for-Punch time
While his dinner's far from hot
She grows tired cab is hired
She goes round to see her friend
He comes back late fool is irate
We will see his temper bend
This must be make-believe
This must be make-believe
This must be make-believe
Cause who do we know, dear
Who acts like that?
Punch and Judy in a quandary
She's walked out, and he is mad
Now he's grown up can't smash home up
Retribution must be had punch and Judy
Had a baby who brought them to married bliss
Mr Punch, has drunken hunch
That he must punish kid for this
This must be make-believe
This must be make-believe
This must be make-believe
Cause who do we know, dear
Who acts like that?
Punch and Judy
Punch and Judy did it truly
And were married in a haste in love, maybe
Using the baby as a kind of romance paste
She's grown fatter her hair cut shorter
Looks much older than nineteen
He's a drinker not a thinker
Baby spoiled his could have-been
This must be make-believe
This must be make-believe
This must be make-believe
Cause who do we know, dear
Who acts like that?
Punch and Judy
Punch and Judy in a semi
On a brand new council plot sunday lunchtime
Beer-for-Punch time
While his dinner's far from hot
She grows tired cab is hired
She goes round to see her friend
He comes back late fool is irate
We will see his temper bend
This must be make-believe
This must be make-believe
This must be make-believe
Cause who do we know, dear
Who acts like that?
