Book 24 Page 5

 

He said he would ring

 

He said he would ring,

I’ve been waiting home.

I’ve been waiting home

All alone.

 

Were could he be!?

What’s he up to!?

He said he would ring by

a quarter two.

 

He said he would call me

and give me a blast.

And now! look at the time!

it’s a quarter past.

 

It’s irresponsible, it’s unreliable, it’s undependable

And Oo-H it’s such a simple task!

He’s doing it again,

he’s putting me last.

 

And he thinks I’m supposed to put up with this.

Well he’s got another thing coming.

If he hasn’t rang by ten

I’m packing my things and going.

 

He said he would ring and he hasn’t.

And I’m not ganna hang around forever!
