I'm The One
Tommy and The Heartbreakers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
At home?
Consider yourself...
One of the family
We've taken to you
So strong
It's clear...we're...
Going to get along
Well in!
Consider yourself...
Part of the furniture
There isn't a lot to spare
Who cares?
Whatever we got we share
If it should chance to be
We should see
Some harder days
Empty larder days
Why grouse?
Alsyas a-chance we'll meet
Somebody
To foot the bill
Then the drinks are on the house!
Consider yourself our mate
We do't want to have no fuss,
For after some consideration, we can state
Consider yourself
One of us!
I'm getting married in the morning! Ding dong!
The bells are gonna chime. Pull out the stopper!
Let's have a whopper! But get me to the church on time!
I gotta be there in the mornin'
Spruced up and lookin' in me prime.
Girls, come and kiss me
Show how you'll miss me.
But get me to the church on time!
I'm Henery the Eighth, I am,
Henery the Eighth I am, I am!
I got married to the widow next door,
She'd been married seven times before.
And every one was an Henery
She wouldn't have a Willie or a Sam
I'm her eighth old man named Henery
Henery the Eighth, I am!
Knees up Mother Brown
Knees up Mother Brown
Under the table you must go
Ee-aye, Ee-aye, Ee-aye-oh
If I catch you bending
I'll saw your legs right off
Knees up, knees up
Never get the breeze up
Knees up Mother Brown
Oh my, what a rotten song
What a rotten song
What a rotten song
Oh my, what a rotten song
And what a rotten singer
Too-oo-ooh
The above lyrics are from the song "Consider Yourself" by Tommy and The Heartbreakers. The song talks about accepting someone into your group, making them feel at home and letting them feel like they belong. The song describes that the group has taken a liking to the person despite there not being a lot of spare space or resources, they will share whatever they have.
The lyrics also mention that it is possible that there might be some tough days, where the group may not have much to spare but in such situations, they will not be grumpy because there is always a chance that they might meet somebody who would foot the bill and they can have drinks on the house. The song ends by stating that the person is now a part of the group, no fuss needs to be made, and they are now one of them.
The song's lyrics are uplifting and promote the idea of accepting others into our lives, regardless of how different they may seem. The song can be interpreted as a message of friendship, inclusion, and belonging.

She refused to marry anyone named Willie or Sam.

Knees up Mother Brown
A dance song
Knees up Mother Brown
Dance and have fun
Under the table you must go
Keep dancing fun and wild
Ee-aye, Ee-aye, Ee-aye-oh
Chanting the sounds of the dance
If I catch you bending
If I see you slowing down
I'll saw your legs right off
I'll punish you with physical harm
Knees up, knees up
Keep going, keep going
Never get the breeze up
Don't let the excitement die down
Knees up Mother Brown
Keep dancing and having fun
Oh my, what a rotten song
Wow, this is a terrible song
What a rotten song
What an unpleasant song
What a rotten song
What an unpleasant song
Oh my, what a rotten song
Wow, this is a terrible song
And what a rotten singer
And a really bad singer too
