  1. Bottle of claret for you if I'd realised

  2. Well, do next time

  3. I'd forgotten all about it, George, so I'm sorry

  4. Will you forgive me?

  5. Yes

  6. Cheeky bitch

  7. Number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9

  8. Number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9

  9. Number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number

  10. Then there's this Welsh Rarebit wearing some brown underpants

  11. About the shortage of grain in Hertfordshire

  12. Every one of them knew that as time went by

  13. They'd get a little bit older and a little bit slower but

  14. It's all the same thing, in this case

  15. Manufactured by someone who's always

  16. Umpteen times

  17. Your fibres giving it diddly-i-dee

  18. District was leaving, intended to pay for

  19. Number 9, number 9

  20. Who's to know?

  21. Who was to know?

  22. Number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9

  23. Number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9

  24. Number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9

  25. I sustained nothing worse than

  26. Also spoken for

  27. Whatever you're doing

  28. A business deal falls through

  29. I informed him on the third night

  30. When fortune gives

  31. Number 9, number 9, number 9

  32. Right, right

  33. Right, right, right, right

  34. Right, right

  35. 9, number 9, number 9, number 9

  36. I've missed all of that

  37. It makes me a few days late

  38. Compared with, like, wow!

  39. And weird stuff like that

  40. Taking our sides sometimes

  41. Floral bark

  42. Rouge doctors have brought this specimen

  43. I have nobody's short-cuts, ah-ah

  44. 9, number 9

  45. With the situation

  46. They are standing still

  47. The plan, the telegram

  48. Ooh ooh

  49. Number 9, number

  50. Ooh

  51. A man without terrors from beard to false

  52. As the headmaster reported to me

  53. My son he really can try as they do to find function

  54. Who could tell what he was saying

  55. And his voice was low and his hive was high

  56. And his eyes were low

  57. All right!

  58. Number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9

  59. Number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9

  60. Number 9, number 9, number 9

  61. So the wife called, and we'd better go to see a surgeon

  62. Or whatever to price it

  63. Right!

  64. Yellow underclothes

  65. So, any road, we went to see the dentist instead

  66. Who gave her a pair of teeth which wasn't any good at all

  67. So I said I'd marry, join the bloody Navy and went to sea

  68. In my broken chair, my wings are broken and so is my hair

  69. I am not in the mood for wearing

  70. Um da

  71. Aaah

  72. How?

  73. The dogs were dogging, the cats were catting

  74. The birds were birding, and the fish were fishing

  75. The men were menning, and the when were whimming

  76. Only to find the night-watchman

  77. Unaware of his presence in the building

  78. Onion soup

  79. Number 9, number 9, number 9,

  80. Number 9, number 9, number 9

  81. Industrial output

  82. Financial imbalance

  83. Thrusting it between his shoulder blades

  84. The Watusi

  85. The Twist

  86. El Dorado

  87. Take this, brother, may it serve you well

  88. Maybe it's nothing

  89. Aaah

  90. Maybe it's not that; it's

  91. What? What? Oh

  92. Maybe even then

  93. Exposures in London

  94. It's a difficulty being

  95. By exposure

  96. Because it's almost like being naked

  97. If you become naked

  98. That line

  99. Hold that line

  100. Hold that line

  101. Hold that line

  102. Hold that line

  103. Block that kick

  104. Block that kick

  105. Block that kick

  106. Block that kick

  107. Block that kick

  108. Block that kick

  109. Block that kick

  110. Block that kick

  111. Block that kick

Bottle of claret for you if I'd realised

Then there's this Welsh Rarebit wearing some brown underpants

About the shortage of grain in Hertfordshire

Every one of them knew that as time went by

They'd get a little bit older and a little bit slower but

It's all the same thing, in this case

Manufactured by someone who's always

Umpteen times

Also spoken for

A business deal falls through

I informed him on the third night

When fortune gives

Number 9, number 9, number 9
