The Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem - Threescore and Ten versuri lyrics
Threescore and Ten
✕
And it's threescore and ten boys and men were lost from Grimsby town
From Yarmouth down to Scarborough many hundreds more were drowned
Our herring craft, our trawlers, our fishing smacks as well
They long did fight the bitter night and battle with the swell
Methinks I see a host of craft spreading their sails alee
As down the Humber they do glide all bound for the northern sea
Methinks I see on each small craft a crew with hearts so brave
Going out to earn their daily bread upon the restless wave
And it's threescore and ten boys and men were lost from Grimsby town
From Yarmouth down to Scarborough many hundreds more were drowned
Our herring craft, our trawlers, our fishing smacks as well
They long did fight the bitter night and battle with the swell
Methinks I see them yet again as they leave this land behind
Casting their nets into the sea, the herring shoals to find
Methinks I see them yet again and they're all on board alright
With their nets close reefed and their decks cleaned up and their side lights burning bright
And it's threescore and ten boys and men were lost from Grimsby town
From Yarmouth down to Scarborough many hundreds more were drowned
Our herring craft, our trawlers, our fishing smacks as well
They long did fight the bitter night and battle with the swell
October's night brought such a sight, 'twas never seen before
There was masts and yards and broken spars come washed up on the shore
There was many a heart of sorrow, there was many a heart so brave
There was many a fine and hearty lad to find the watery grave
And it's threescore and ten boys and men were lost from Grimsby town
From Yarmouth down to Scarborough many hundreds more were drowned
Our herring craft, our trawlers, our fishing smacks as well
They long did fight the bitter night and battle with the swell

Don't wanna fill your wishlist
With your expectations
Brown eyes, pretty smile
Sassy but sophisticated
Pick and choose what you like
Check off boxes on your wishlist
Stop wastin' your time
Cuz I don't fit in to
Any box, any marks
Do do what I want
Dress how I like
You packaged me with all your faves
Full of filters and all these frames
Ain't gon' try to fit into it
It's just all your dreams in your head
Walk away from all the fantasies
(Yeah) you just gotta realize
Love the way I am
Even all the flaws
Don't wanna fill your wishlist
With your expectations
No fairy dust for your stupid wishes
If you seek anyone
That perfect type who lives in your dream
I'm not for you
So I don't give a -
Everybody talks behind my back
All pointing fingers, making faces
How you know me better than myself
Well, I guess
Just a stereotype
How you been spending all your time?
Waiting for your dre-am girl?
Wake yourself up, get real
Cuz life is too short
You packaged me with all your faves
Full of filters and all these frames
Ain't gon' try to fit into it
It's just all your dreams in your head
Walk away from all the fantasies
(Yeah) you just gotta realize
Love the way I am
Even all the flaws
Don't wanna fill your wishlist
With your expectations
No fairy dust for your stupid wishes
If you seek anyone
That perfect type who lives in your dream
I'm not for you
So I don't give a -
Been through a lot, now look what I got
Finally I found my true love
Oh you think it'd be Prince Charming
Got no room for that on my list
This love is gon' be the last
Cuz my true love is
Only myself
Don't wanna fill your wishlist
With your expectations
No fairy dust for your stupid wishes
If you seek anyone
That perfect type who lives in your dream
I'm not for you
So I don't give a -

Cecille will pick out all your clothes
[spoken] Blue, no red is her best color, I think.
Your bath is drawn by Mrs. Greer.
[spoken] Soap...no, bubbles, I think.
Annette comes in to make your bed.
[spoken] The silk, no the satin sheets, I think.
I think I'm gonna like it here!
The swimming pool is to the left
[spoken] Inside the house? Oh boy.
The tennis court is in the rear
[spoken] I never even picked up a racket.
Have an instructor here at noon
[spoken] Oh, and get that Don Budge fellow if he's available.
I think I'm gonna like it here.
When you wake Ring for Drake
Drake will bring your tray
When you're through Mrs.Pugh
Comes and takes it away.
No need to pick up any toys
[spoken] That's okay, I haven't got any anyway.
No finger will you lift my dear
We have but one request
Please put us to the test
I know I'm gonna like it here
Used to room in a tomb
Where i'd sit and freeze
Get me now, holy cow
Could someone pinch me please.
[spoken] She didn't mean it.
[Singing] We've never had a little girl
We've never had a little girl
I'm very glad to volunteer
We hope you understand your wish is our command
I know I'm gonna like it here
We know you're gonna like It here
Welcome

Little girls
Little girls
Everywhere I turn I can see them
Little girls
Little girls
Night and day
I eat, sleep and breathe them
I'm an ordinary woman
With feelings
I'd like a man to nibble on my ear
But I'll admit
No man has bit
So how come I'm the mother of the year?
Little cheeks
Little teeth
Everything around me is little
If I wring
Little necks
Surely I will get an acquittal
Some women are dripping with diamonds
Some women are dripping with pearls
Lucky me! Lucky me!
Look at what I'm dripping with
Little girls
How I hate
Little shoes
Little socks
And each little bloomer
I'd have cracked
Years ago
If it weren't for my
Sense of humor
Some day
I'll step on their freckles
Some night
I'll straighten their curls
Send a flood
Send the flu
Anything that you can do
To little girls

You said to me goodbye
Told me that you hate me
I think I'm going out of my mind
Don't wanna stay with you
run away, run away
it goes on and on and on
i've wasted so much time on you
can't sleep cause i missing you
every fxxkin night
I'm better than you
you're better than me
What do you want from me?
I don't know
i'm better than you
you're better than me
I love when you hate me
I lied to you goodbye
That was a big mistake of mine
Just gonna forget the fact that im
Depending on my brandy
You hurt me then gave me one last
night it was bright while it last
Poured all of me now its just useless
Its useless
I'm better than you
you're better than me
What do you want from me?
I don't know
i'm better than you
you're better than me
I love when you hate me
I'm better than you
you're better than me
What do you want from me?
I don't know
i'm better than you
you're better than me
I love when you hate me
I'm better than you
you're better than me
What do you want from me?
I don't know
i'm better than you
you're better than me
I love when you hate me
I'm better than you
you're better than me
What do you want from me?
I don't know
i'm better than you
you're better than me
I love when you hate me
