I mean good manners don’t cost nothing do they, eh?“ Down and Out It can’t be helped but there’s a lot of it about With, without And who’ll deny that’s what the fightings all about Get out of the way, it’s a busy day And I’ve got things on my mind For want of the price of tea and a slice The old man died
