The first time we met you were a kennel maid,
You gave me a tip I got me forecast paid,
You were holding a greyhound in trap number one,
Your white coat was shining in the afternoon sun.
Now we’re both together,
We’re never gonna break apart, no no,
‘Cause we’re a happy couple you and me,
With a greyhound at either knee.
I’ll have ten shillings to win on Camera Flash, young man,
What dog’s that, it’s a deuce, look at it.
There was nothing in my life bigger than beer,
There was nothing in my life bigger than beer,
‘Ceptin’ you, little darling,
‘Ceptin’ you, little darling,
We’re a happy couple you and me,
With a greyhound at either knee.
We go to the dog track on Saturday night,
We put all our money on a dog that we like,
A kiss and a cuddle, a hot meat pie,
Two dollar tickets and a starry sky.
