Ian Dury [1942 - 2000]

Sing with me. OK, one song at the time.
Ian Dury was The Only Real UK Super Ever Indy.

You play this song,
and sing along with me;

---

good evening i'm from Essex
in case you couldn't tell
my given name is Dickie,
I come from Billericay
and I'm doing very well

had a love affair with Nina
in the back of my Cortina
a seasoned up hyena
could not have been more obscener
she took me to the cleaners
and other misdemeanours
but I got right up between her
rum and her Ribena

well, you ask Joyce and Vicki
if candy-floss is sticky
I'm not a blinking thicky
I'm Billericay Dickie
and i'm doing very well

I bought a lot of brandy
when I was courting Sandy
took eight to make her randy
and all I had was shandy
another thing with Sandy
what often came in handy
was passing her a 'Mandy'
she didn't half go bandy

so you ask Joyce and Vicki
if I ever took the mickey
I'm not a flipping thicky
I'm billericay dickie
and I'm doing very well

I'd rondez-vouez with Janet
quite near the Isle of Thanet
she looked more like a gannet
she wasn't half a prannet
her mother tried to ban it
her father helped me plan it
and when I captured Janet
she bruised her pomegranet

so you ask Joyce and Vicki
if i ever shaped up tricky
I'm not a blooming thicky
I'm Billericay Dickie
and I'm doing very well

you should never hold a candle
if you don't know where it's been
the jackpot is in the handle
on a normal fruit machine

so you ask Joyce and Vicki
who's their favorite brickie
I'm not a common thicky
I'm Billericay Dickie
and I'm doing very well

etc.

Enjoy
