The Kinks - HARRY RAG
From Something Else By The Kinks (1967)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ah, Tom is young and Tom is bold
Tom is as bold as a knight of old
But whenever he gets in a bit of a jam
There's nothing he won't do to get a Harry Rag
CHORUS:
Harry Rag! Harry Rag! Do anything just to get a Harry Rag
And he curses himself for the life he's led
And rolls himself a Harry Rag
And puts himself to bed
Ah, Tom's old ma is a dyin' lass
Soon they all reckon she'll be pushin' up the grass
And her bones might take and her skin might sag
Still she's got the strength to have a Harry Rag
Harry Rag! Harry Rag! Do anything just to get a Harry Rag
And she curses herself for the life she's led
And rolls herself a Harry Rag
And puts herself to bed
Ah, bless you taxman bless you all
You may take some but you'll never take it all
But if I give it all I won't feel sad
As long as I've got enough to buy a Harry Rag
Harry Rag! Harry Rag! Do anything just to get a Harry Rag
And I curse myself for the life I've led
And roll myself a Harry Rag
And put myself to bed
Ah, the smart young ladies of the land
Can't relax without a Harry in their hand
And they light one up and they boast and brag
So content because they got a Harry Rag
Harry Rag! Harry Rag! Do anything just to get a Harry Rag
And they light one up and they boast and brag
So content because they got a Harry Rag
Harry Rag! Harry Rag! I'll do anything just to get a harry rag
And I curse myself for the life I've led
And roll myself a harry rag
And put myself to bed
