Some folks they be always a-talking,
       I calls them a clacketty crew,
You'd fancy to hear 'em a-talking,
       That they'd nothing furder to do.
But when I drops in at the Lion
       And calls for a tankard or two,
Lord love ee! you don't catch me talking,
       I've summat much better to do!

So trol, lol, lol, lolly, I keeps myself jolly,
       I finda it the casiest way,
You gets through your Hiqour much quicker, much quicker,
       As long aa you've nothing to say!

When I goes out walking with Molly,
       And Molly goes walking with me,
She never says nothing, I tell ee,
       I never says nothing to shef
We sits on the gate in the orchard,
       She looks at me tender and true,
Lord love eet you don't catch us talking,
       We've summat much better to do!

So trol, lol, lol, lolly, when I'm out with Molly,
       I sticks to my usual way,
I gets far more kisses from my little missus,
       Because I've got nothing to say!

We goes up to church every Sunday,
       And sits side by side in the throng,
I gives her a nudge with my elbow
       As Passon goes droning along.
He'd talk the hind leg off a donkey,
       But when its our marrying day
He'll have to cut short all his lingo,
       Or I shall have summat to say!

So trol, lol, lol, lolly, our life will be jolly,
       And all in the usual way,
She'll kiss and caress me, she'll cuss me and bless me,
       And I shall hare nothing to say!
