Remember when London was filled with gin?
The Salvation Army wouldn't let me in.
Sitting in between two drunken, old men,
Singing songs about their regiments.
I used to play jazz on a Saturday night
With the drums and horns.
The Navy boys all in a frenzy
And go to church on Sunday
With a clear conscience.
You don't drink liquor on Sunday.
You don't drink liquor on Sunday.
I used to get me drunk on strange drinks
That would leave me fat and puzzled,
Till two lads got into a fight over whose night
It was who'd have his hair ruffled.
I used to play jazz on a Saturday night
With the drums and horns.
The Navy boys all in a frenzy
And go to church on Sunday
With a clear conscience.
You don't drink liquor on Sunday.
You don't drink liquor on Sunday.
