I saw you in the cornershop
The proprietor was stocking up
He gave a wink when he saw I'd noticed you
I'd just stepped out for cigarettes
Now my basket's full of all the rest
There was nothing else that I felt that I could do
What's your name and what's your number?
I don't seem to know
We walked around and talked for hours and
I don't seem to know
Then I saw you down the Bull and Bush
And with a nudge and a little push
I made my way across the bar to talk to you
You sat me down and you told me how
Everything you think is happening now
You're amazing and I'm so in love with you
What's your name and what's your number?
I don't seem to know
We sat around and talked for hours and
I don't seem to know
So I met you there and I took you home
Back to Willesden Green and we're all alone
But it wouldn't be right to try my luck with you
We sat and talked til morning light
You took my hand and said it's alright
We're together and we'll be forever the way we do
What's your name and what's your number?
I don't seem to know
We sat around and talked for hours and
I don't seem to know

This house is burning down
This house won't be around when I go
This house is burning down
This house won't be around when I go
This house is burning down
Bring water from the ground
This house is burning down
They'll chase you out of this town
Bring whisky bring water
Bring someone else's daughter
Tell them what it is they need to know

Never was it right in your foreign dreams I gotta go
Never was it right and I go keep out hiding home
Never was it right and you don't believe
I got a war keeping on I'm not sleeping
A little bit of your ways I'll keep out hiding home
Never was it right in your foreign dreams and I wished that I could swim
Far away in a deep wide ocean far away from him
Never was it right and you don't believe
I got a war keeping on I'm not sleeping
A little bit of your waves I'll keep out hiding home
Cos honey you're too bad
Honey you're too bad
Cos honey you're too bad
Honey you're too bad
Never was it right in your foreign dreams I gotta go
Never was it right and I go keep out hiding home
Never was it right and you don't believe
I got a war keeping on I'm not sleeping
A little bit of your ways I'll keep out hiding home
Cos honey you're too bad
Honey you're too bad
And honey it's too bad
Honey you're too bad

I'm heading on my travels
I'm going the railroad way
Rolling down to Texas I'm sitting on a train
My boxcar companion he's got some funny ways
He's chewing on tobacco and spitting in a tray
And I say what's the deal with that
Why do you do that everyday?
He said listen son it's better for your lungs
And you taste it right this way
Then we got to talking
About all sorts him and me
I told him I was travelling round
Just to see what I could see
Well good luck to ya son he said
There's just one thing I'd say
Things are the way they are round here
'Cos that's the American way
And I say what's the deal with that
Why do they tell me everyday?
He said listen son I got big guns
So you'd best heed what I say
Then I shook his big hand
Hmm hmm mmm mmm
Well I'm told it's got some history
Old dust on bloody days
Then a gusher came up at Spindletop
And the greatest state was made
And all around it's much the same
And it hasn't changed it's ways
It's leather chaps and ten gallon hats
And biscuits and gravy
And I say what's the deal with that
why do you eat that everyday?
He said listen son come to my home
My wife will cook you some her way
Then I shook his big hand
Hmm hmm mmm mmm
