Bellowhead Flash Company
Oh the jigging and all the dancing it was all my delight
And staying out late, my boys, been the ruin of me quite
Staying out late, my boys, like a great many more
If it hadn't've been for flash company I should never have been so poor
Once I had a colour as red as any rose
But now I'm as pale as the lilly that grows
As the lily in the garden, my beauty's all gone
If it hadn't've been for flash company I should never have been so poor
So take this yellow handkerchief in remembrance of me
Tie it safely round your neck when in flash company
Flash company's been the ruin of a great many more
If it hadn't've been for flash company I should never have been so poor
If it hadn't've been for flash company I should never have been so poor
