Council House Kid
Council House Kid
Council house kid,
council house kid,
a gravy faced urchin,
a council house kid.
It was about where you came from
not what you did.
Who do you think you are?
You’re a council house kid!
A writer you say? Is that how you imagine
you’ll earn your first quid?
It’s the Coop for you
you’re a council house kid!
The jeers that I took
and the tears that I hid.
You’re only fit for tasks menial
council house kid!
So they boxed me, outfoxed me
and screwed down the lid,
I did as I was told and did what was bid
and went to the Coop this council house kid
Now no time to regret
I did what I did.
A writer you say?
I’m a Council House Kid.
