Ian Dury And The Blockheads The Call Up Lyrics

The Call Up Lyrics

Let her go, let her go

When the look in her eye said,

"Cheerio, cheerio"

"I don't want you no more"

Mosquito, mosquito

"Get the hell out of my bed"

"torpedo, torpedo

"I don't want you no more"



If you call up

And line up

And join up

And sign up

Go to the call up it's all up with you



With regret, with regret

When the lady departed

Cigarette, cigarette

Can I see you once more?

Bayonet, bayonet

When the trouble had started

Tournequet, tournequet

Can I see you once more?



If you call up

And line up

And join up

And sign up

Go to the call up it's all up with you



Destitute, destitute

Can't defend my intended

You regroup, you regroup

I don't want you no more

I salute, I salute

The engagement has ended

Parachute, parachute

I don't want you no more



If you call up

And line up

And join up

And sign up

Go to the call up it's all up with you



Let her go

When the look in her eye said,

"Cheerio"

I don't want you no more"



Mosquito

"Get the hell out of my bed"

"You know"

"I don't want you no more"



If you call up

And line up

And join up

And sign up

Go to the call up it's all up with you
