Three Coins in the Sewer (Original Mix)

Three coins in the sewer

They fell down the drain

Through a hole in my pocket

Now I'm right skint again

They rolled down the pavement

Through the muck and the slime

Went plop in the water

One at a time

Stuck me hand through the grating

But me arm was too short

And as I tried to remove it

Some of me fingers got caught

And a crowd gathered 'round me

They thought I was insane

As I lay in the gutter

With me arm down the drain

Off came the drain cover

And I fell with a thud

Crawled out through a manhole

All covered in mud

Now me friends won't come near me

Oh ain't that a shame

Since that day in the sewer

I just don't smell the same

Since that day in the sewer

I just don't smell the same

Gawd talk about throwing your money down the drain I couldn't half do with one of them pennies now and all urgently But I don't half feel lonely I've got BO But the funny things you find down sewers
