Title: A Quick One While He's Away (Originally by The Who)

Redy

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 the little girl,

Whose crying can be heard all around the world.

Ooh, ooh ooh, ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh.

We have a remedy you'll appreciate.

Don't need to be so sad, he's always late.

We bring you flowers and things that'll pass your time.

We'll give him eagle's wings so he can fly to you.

Fa la la la la la

La la la la la la

La la la la la la la

La la la la la la laaaa.

We have a remedy

Fa la la la la la la

We have a remedy! (We have...)

Little girl, stop your crying! (Stop your crying!)

Ivor the Engine Driver's gonna make you...

Feel alright!

(Hey, ho, ha ha ha ha!)

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's 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.

We'll soon be home,

We'll soon be home.

We'll soon,

We'll soon soon soon be home.

We'll soon soon soon soon be home.

Dang, dang, dang, dang,

dang, dang, dang, dang!

Cello, cello, cello, cello,

Cello, cello, cello, cello.

I don'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.

Ba ba ban ba.

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, forgiven)

Forgiven, forgiven, forgiven, forgiven,

Forgiven, forgiven, forgiven, forgiven!

Forgiven, forgiven, forgiven, forgiven, yeah!

You are forgiven. (You are forgive...)

You are forgiven...

You, you! You are forgiven. (You)

You, you are forgiven. (You)

You are all forgiven!
