Lyrics

[EVIE] My mother said I never should Play with the young men in the wood If I did, she would say 'Naughty little girl to disobey!' Stop it! I'm a typically English rosebud Born of typically English stock With a typically Anglo-Saxon family tree [LITTLECHAP] You can tell, can't you? [EVIE] I received my education In a typically English way At a typically English girls' academy [LITTLECHAP] I went to Brixton Reformatory for Boys meself [EVIE] I play typically English tennis At a typically English club With a typically English feeling for fair play I eat typically English crumpets With my typically English tea At the end of every typically English day [LITTLECHAP] That's funny! We only had fish and chips [EVIE] Father is a typically English colonel Home is a typically English county town [LITTLECHAP] Somewhere near Swindon [EVIE] Mummy and I play typically English patience While the typically English rain is pouring down We've a typically English spaniel Who likes typically English walks Past the typically English trees upon the heath And if anyone asks me how I like This typically English life I am fed up to my typically English teeth [LITTLECHAP] My mother said I never should Play with the girlies in the wood If I did, she would say They'll only end up in the family way [EVIE] When I go to typically English dances Mother gives me typically sound advice: How to cope with typically coarse advances But I'm bound to confess I find them rather nice! Stay there In the typically English summer We take typically English trips To a typically seaside place with Auntie Maude; And if anyone asks me how I like This typically English life I have never been so - Pygmalion bored! And if anyone asks me how I like This typically English life I have never been ... [Chorus] Here is a special announcement. There was an accident in a bedsitting-room off the Brompton Road late last night when a seventeen-year old girl was involved in a head-on collision with a twenty-five year old tea boy, and received injuries from which her typically English family may never recover. Will anyone who saw the Accident, or can give any information, please keep it to themselves? [EVIE] When a typically English rosebud Is in typically English bloom And her typically English petals open wide Then her typically English perfume Reaches typically English bees And what follows is really most undignified! [LITTLECHAP] My mother said I never should Play with the girlies in the wood If I did, she would say They'll only end up in a most undignified Somewhat magnified Slightly stupefied Maybe multiplied Quite unqualified None too sanctified Highly satisfied way
