Vicious circle ( originally written as a folk song ) approx 20 years ago

I was deep in a sleep silently dreaming
When the wife came along and started screaming.

She prodded and poked me and said to me Jack
Get out of your slumber get off of your back.

I looked at my wife out of one eye
And said to her darling I feel I could die.

She said don’t be silly get out of your bed
Get off to work, you’ve just got a thick head.

Well I went off to work and I slogged all day long
And I started off home at the sound of the dong.

When I got home from work I slumped in my chair
I looked at my darling but she didn’t care.

I said to her please could you get me some tea
She said to me no dear you get some for me.

We sat there in silence I said to my dear
I’m off up the pub then to get me some beer.

She looked at me coldly and said with a bite
How soon will you be home then and I said “midnight”.
