lyrics

I wouldn't trade my little eight-room house for you
I got one missus and I don't want two
I love you baby but you don't understand
That feeling you is fine and kissing you is grand
But I wouldn't trade my little eight-room house for you

Water tastes fine but money tastes sweeter
And I'd rather have a fire than a paraffin heater
I wouldn't give my little wooden wife for you

Some men think babies are cute and
Darling I know I'm a dream come true
But I wouldn't trade my little eight-room house for you

Lord knows the train tracks are pretty
But I'd rather drive my Rolls-Royce round the city
I wouldn't give my little eight-room life for you
