Lyrics
Consider yourself at home
Consider yourself one of the family
We’ve taken to you so strong
It’s clear we’re going to get along
Consider yourself well in
Consider yourself part of the furniture
There isn’t a lot to spare, Who cares?
Whatever we’ve got we share
If it should chance to be
We should see some harder days
Empty larder days, why grouse?
Always a chance we’ll meet
Somebody to foot the bill
Then the drinks are on the house
Consider yourself our mate
We don’t want to have no fuss
For after some consideration we can state
Consider yourself one of us
Consider yourself at home?
Consider yourself one of the family?
We’ve taken to you so strong
It’s clear we’re going to get along
Consider yourself well in?
Consider yourself part of the furniture?
There isn’t a lot to spare? who cares?
Whatever we’ve got, we share
Nobody tries to be lah-di-dah and uppity
There’s a cup of tea for all
Only it’s wise to be handy wiv’ a rolling pin
When the landlord comes to dall
Consider yourself our mate
We don’t want to have no fuss
For after some consideration we can state
Consider yourself one of us
Consider yourself at home
We’ve taken to you so strong
Consider yourself well in
There isn’t a lot to spare
If it should chance to be
We should see some harder days
Empty larder days, why grouse?
Always a chance we’ll meet
Somebody to foot the bill
Then the drinks are on the house
Consider yourself our mate
We don’t want to have no fuss
For after some consideration
We can state consider yourself
One of us
Consider yourself at home
Consider yourself one of the family
We’ve taken to you so strong
It’s clear we’re going to get along
Consider yourself well in
Consider yourself part of the furniture
There isn’t a lot to spare, who cares?
Whatever we’ve got we share
If it should chance to be
We should see some harder days
Empty larder days, why grouse?
Always a chance we’ll meet somebody
To foot the bill
Then the drinks are on the house
Consider yourself our mate
We don’t want to have no fuss
For after some consideration we can state
Consider yourself one of us
