HILDA'S CABINET BAND

(Lal Waterson)



Dancing to Hilda's cabinet band

Doing the one where you never turn around

Up the hall slowly, down the hall fast

And a dignified finish on your arse



Put your right boot in, put it in again

Poll tax your girl in the middle of the ring

Privatize your partner, do it on your own

Kick the smallest one among you, promenade home



Swing your lady half a mile up the center aisle

Wage cut your neighbour, do it with a smile

Bow to the caller dozie-dole the men

And deregulate the couple at the bottom end



Underneath the arches, make yourself at home

Walls made of cardboard, beds made of stone

Penny on the water, twopence on the sea

And threepence on the roundabout and round go we
