Lyrics
I’m an ordinary cockney bloke
And talking’s not me line
I likes to ‘ear the other’s view
Before I tell ’em mine
But there’s someone I could talk about
For hours and hours on end
Altho’ she’s not a Cover Girl
She ain’t ‘arf been a friend
CHORUS
Oh! I ain’t ‘arf proud of my old mum
The finest pal a feller ever had
She looked after me when I was just a kid
She put me right when I was wrong in anything I did
Oh! I ain’t ‘arf proud when she’s walking down the street
‘Cos I know what she’s been through
But now I’m in the money
And I’ve got some L. S. D.
I’m looking after my old mum
As she looked after me
Oh! I ain’t ‘arf proud of my old mum
And she ain’t ‘arf proud of me
