Beardie

working their butt off

in the dark corners

he hit his conkers

when the cream's whipped

that isn't screwed down

sorry got no change

playing lowdown and dirty (The mention of soles reminds me of the Gene Vincent song that he wrote to get at Don Arden who he felt had helically twisted him over 'What wonderful fish Sole are what a wonderful fish are soles')

or beside the seaside

and in between them

the dangers of friction

leading up to something

known as the wife ( who could resist eh?)

i'll take the lead

better avoid light speed

to cheat the devil
