lyrics

And just by looking at his shoes
You can see all you need to know
Slightly scuffed and tatty black brogues
That were well worn and well loved.

He’d wear them into class all week
He’d wear them out on Friday nights.
He’d wear the only suit he owned
And his only pair of cuff links.

He was a legend in the class room,
A whisper across the playground.
He was a hero in his local,
They wouldn’t let him buy his round.

And I bet he loves his missus
I bet he treats her like a queen
I bet he thinks she looks like Sandie Shaw
Or Kiki Dee or Dusty.
I bet he never let a girl turn his head
I bet he never slept all alone in a single bed
I bet he loves his missus
I bet he treats her like a queen.

And just by looking at his hands
You can tell he’s not the lazy kind
You can tell by his tight grip hand shake
That he never crossed a picket line.

Some hear half-hearted sighs
Some see disappointed eyes
But they know when he retires
He will have all he wished for.

And I bet he loves his missus
I bet he treats her like a queen
I bet he thinks she looks like Sandie Shaw
Or Kiki Dee or Dusty,
I bet he never let a girl turn his head
I bet he never slept all alone in a single bed
I bet he loves his missis
I bet he treats her like a queen
