Three coins in the sewer
They fell down the drain
Through a hole in my pocket
Now I'm right skint again
They rolled down the pavement
Through the muck and the slime
Went plop in the water
One at a time
Stuck me hand through the grating
But me arm was too short
And as I tried to remove it
Some of me fingers got caught
And a crowd gathered 'round me
They thought I was insane
As I lay in the gutter
With me arm down the drain
Off came the drain cover
And I fell with a thud
Crawled out through a manhole
All covered in mud
Now me friends won't come near me
Oh, ain't that a shame
Since that day in the sewer
I just don't smell the same
Since that day in the sewer
I just don't smell the same
Gawd, talk about throwing your money down the drain. I couldn't half do with one of them pennies now and all, urgently. But I don't half feel lonely. I've got BO. But the funny things you find down sewers...
