The Blacksmith And The Toffee Maker - Jake Thackray
He was a blacksmith by trade He used to live on his own She was a little old maid she was All gristle and bone Just a crone that you might not Have fancied yourself She was not born to attract She was lined up for the shelf If it were not for the fact the black smith Loved her well He loved her like hell he used to Grunt and sigh fit to die But from afar for he was shy As blacksmiths often are She made a meagre livelihood From her homemade toffee that she'dsell Up and down the neighbourhood To a butterscotch and caramel clientele And optimistically she used to think That she would get a husband yet She was far too modest to wink to Proud to be coquette You bet cause she'dgot a squint She was skinny she was skint It never seemed that she so palpably Bizarre and banal Could ever be a femme fatale Time has no time to spare and the Years went by as they must The spinster shivered with despair And the blacksmith sweated with lust Fit to bust Until one day she went into the church Her simple heart to unclose Lord don'tleave me in the lurch Don'tturn up your nose God knows I'mnot much cop but My legs go up to the top Oh tell me why you'vepassed me by And if you can dear Lord on high Get me a man She she was in for a shock for high In the tower like a bird The smith was mending the clock And he had overheard every word He nearly fell off his perch with delight But stout fellow he kept his head He didn'tsnigger as a lot of men might But in the tones of Jehovah instead He said you'renot bereft There'sa good lad left He'snothing flash but still reliable Staunch and true Dear daughter will will a blacksmith do The spinster'seyes opened wide when She heard the almighty one In a trembling voice she replied lord Any man is better than none Where upon the joyous blacksmith Went home at the trot Dressed up to kill in a tick Went and asked her if she'dhave him or not And she said yes damn quick Because she knew her state it'sdaft to wait When love is overdue to miss your Cue delay or demur In answer to a little cri de coeur This is as much of a romance as All of the others that you get And not so much a song and a dance As your Romeo and Juliet nor as wet Because their love didn'tgo to Their head no call to go berserk The spinster went up to bed and The blacksmith went to work Don'tsmirk such loves are few They were happy they were true They knew their hearts'desires As love requires with some deceits He used his fires to boil up her sweets Guitar score
