Bad Manners Lyrics

When the moon shines on the cow shed
The singer sets the scene on a farm, where everyone is working hard all day long.

And we're rolling in the hay,
Despite the hard work, there are moments of joy and relaxation, like rolling around in the hay.

All the cows are up there grazin',
Even though it's nighttime, the cows are still grazing and the farm is alive with activity.

And the milk is on its way.
The hardworking farmers are preparing milk for the next day, even while they enjoy a moment of rest.

I am a Cider Drinker,

I drinks it all of the day,

It soothes all me troubles away,
Cider is the singer's escape from life's stresses.

Ooh arrh, ooh arrh ay, Ooh arrh, ooh arrh ay
This is a cheerful, rhythmic refrain that emphasizes the joy the artist feels when drinking cider.

It's so cosy in the kitchen
The kitchen is a warm and inviting place, and the artist enjoys spending time there.

With the smell of rabbit stew,
The artist is cooking a rabbit stew which fills the kitchen with delicious scents.

When the breeze blows 'cross the farm yard

You can smell the cow shed too.

When those combine wheels stops turnin',
When the machinery stops working for the day, the workers head to the pub for some fun.

And the hard days work is done,
After a long day of work, the singer and their colleagues are ready to relax and have a good time.

Theres a pub around the corner,
There's a fun and inviting pub nearby where the singer and their friends like to hang out.

It's the place we 'ave our fun.
The pub is the center of the artist's social life and a place where they feel truly relaxed.

Now dear old Mabel when she's able,
The artist and their friend Mabel like to take walks together.

We takes a stroll down Lovers Lane,
The singer and Mabel like to walk down a beautiful path lined with trees.

And we sinks a pint o' two o' Scrumpy,
The singer and Mabel have a couple of pints of Scrumpy (another type of cider).

Then we'll play old natures game.
After drinking, the artist and Mabel enjoy some romantic time outdoors.

But we end up in the duckpond
Sometimes, the artist and Mabel get a little carried away and end up in the duckpond.

When the pub decides to close,
The artist and Mabel stay out too late and end up getting locked out of the pub.

With me breeches full o' tadpoles,
The water in the duckpond is full of tadpoles, which get into the singer's pants.

And the newts between me toes.
The duckpond is also full of newts, which get between the artist's toes and make them uncomfortable.

It blows all me troubles away,
The singer drinks cider to forget their troubles and simply enjoy life.
