A Quick One While He's Away (Live "Rock And Roll Circus" Version)

Her man's been gone

For nigh on a year

He was due home yesterday

But he ain't here

Her man's been gone

For nigh on a year

He was due home yesterday

But he ain't here

Down your street, your crying is a well-known sound

Your street is very well-known throughout your town

Your town is very famous for a little girl

Whose crying can be heard all around the world

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

We have a remedy

You'll appreciate

No need to be so sad

He's only late

We'll bring you flowers and things

Help pass your time

We'll give him eagle's wings

Then he can fly to you

Fa, la, la, la, la, la

Fa, la, la, la, la

Fa, la, la, la, la, la

Fa, la, la, la, la

Fa, la, la, la, la, la

Fa, la, la, la, la, la

We have a remedy

Fa, la, la, la, la, la

We have a remedy

Fa, la, la, la, la, la

We have a remedy

Fa, la, la, la, la, la

We have a remedy (We have)

Little girl guide

Why don't you stop your crying?

Here comes Ivor, the dirty old sooty engine driver, to make you feel alright

My name is Ivor

I'm an engine driver

I know him well

I know why you feel blue

Just 'cause he's late

Don't mean he'll never get through

He told me he loves you

He ain't no liar, I ain't either

So let's have a smile for an old engine driver

So let's have a smile for an old engine driver

We'll soon be home

We'll soon be home

We'll soon

We'll soon, soon, soon be home

We'll soon be home

We'll soon be home (Oh yeah)

We'll soon

We'll soon, soon, soon be home

We'll soon be home

We'll soon be home

Cello, cello, cello, cello

Cello, cello, cello, cello

Cello, cello, cello, cello

Cello, cello, cello, cello

Cello, cello, cello, cello

Cello, cello, cello, cello

Cello, cello, cello, cello

Cello, cello, cello, cello

I can't believe it

Do my eyes deceive me?

Am I back in your arms?

Away from all harm?

It's like a dream to be with you again

Can't believe that I'm with you again

Mow, mow, mow, mow

Mow, mow

I missed you and I must admit

I kissed a few, and once did sit

On Ivor the engine driver's lap

And later with him, had a nap

You are forgiven (You are forgiven)

You are forgiven (You are forgiven)

You are forgiven (You are forgiven)

You are forgiven (You are forgiven)

You are forgiven, forgiven, forgiven, forgiven

Forgiven, forgiven, forgiven, forgiven

Forgiven, forgiven, forgiven, forgiven, forgiven

You are forgiven

You are forgiven

Don't let you lie

Oh, you're forgiven

I won't let you cry

Forgiven

You are forgiven

You are forgiven

You are forgiven

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Forgiven, forgiven

You are forgiven

You're all forgiven (Hey)
