Punch And Judy Lyrics

Gather 'round!

Punch and Judy did it truly
And were married in a haste
In love, maybe, using the baby
As a kind of romance paste

She's grown fatter, her hair cut shorter
Looks much older than nineteen
He's a drinker, not a thinker
Baby spoiled his could-have-been

This must be make-believe
This must be make-believe
This must be make-believe
'Cos who do we know, dear, who acts like that?
Punch and Judy

Punch and Judy, in a semi
On a brand new council plot
Sunday lunchtime, beer-for-punch time
While his dinner's far from hot

She grows tired, cab is hired
She goes 'round to see her friend
[ XTC Lyrics are found on www.songlyrics.com ]
He comes back late, fool is irate
We will see his temper bend

This must be make-believe
This must be make-believe
This must be make-believe
'Cos who do we know, dear, who acts like that?

Punch and Judy in a quandary
She's walked out and he is mad
Now he's grown up, can't smash home up
Retribution must be had

Punch and Judy had a baby
Who brought them to married bliss
Mr. Punch has drunken hunch
That he must punish kid for this

This must be make-believe
This must be make-believe
This must be make-believe
'Cos who do we know, dear, who acts like that?
Punch and Judy

Gather 'round!

Punch and Judy did it truly
