Peasants in the Fields

'Cor blimey my fine Sir I feel so bloody undeserved
It seems there’s a rumpus going on here
And I just don’t know what is wrong

Well all the peasants in the fields are running around in a hump all day
Got too much to say
All the peasants running around kind Sir

Well all the peasants in the fields are running around in a hump all day
Got too much to say
All the peasants running around kind Sir

All the ‘orses ‘ave been fed
And the kitchen spotless Sir
But there’s something going on down here
And I just don't know what is wrong

Well all the peasants in the fields are running around in a hump all day
Got too much to say
All the peasants are running around kind Sir

All the peasants in the fields are running around in a hump all day
Got too much to say
All the peasants running around kind Sir

As sure as a tuppence they'll get their comeuppance
But they're not about to take it and they'd rather bloody break it
They're downing our good tools
And they're not about to make it

I’ll have them hung drawn and quartered
A disgrace like this should be sorted
There’s plenty of right arm men that will do
They’d be queuing all the way to Timbuktu

Well all the peasants in the fields are running around in a hump all day
Got too much to say
All the peasants are running around kind Sir

All the peasants in the fields are running around in a hump all day
Got too much to say
All the peasants running around kind Sir


As sure as a tuppence they'll get their comeuppance
And they're not about to take it and they'd rather bloody break it
They're downing our good tools and they're not about to make it
They're hanging out their colours the ones it says there's others
We're hanging out our colours the ones that says it's others
