Hilarious! I love the verse where it goes:
ReplyDeleteWHEN I STEP INTO ANY HOME,
WHAT A WARM WELCOME I RECEIVE!
WHEN I STEP INTO ANY HOME,
WHAT A WARM WELCOME I RECEIVE!
AS I GOT MARRIED, I GOT DISMISSED,
NO COMELY MAIDEN LOOKS AT ME,
The male species should remember that there is a very fine line between "eligble batchelor" and "dirty old man". LOL :P
On occasions such as these, I wish I could sing along with Cliff Richard: Son you are a bachelore boy, and that's the way you'll stay..." Alas, the youth is too short too for one to remain an eternal bachelor since, as Johnson stated, Celibacy has no pleasure. As far as the dirty old man is concerned, perhaps this myth has been perpetuated by a young man who wants the field to himself. LOL.....
ReplyDeleteI love the above song for the amazing voice modulation of Rafi Sahaab to sound like Johnny Walker.
