Please Leave My Butter Alone lyrics

Everybody pinches my butter

They won't leave my butter alone

And nothing is better than butter

For keeping the old man at home

Everybody says I'm old-fashioned

To sit on the things that are rationed

So, pinch all my ham and my plum and apple jam

But please leave my butter alone

I've got a nice friendly face, I think you will agree

And folks are always popping in to have a cup of tea

You might think there's a war on, while they argue and they shout

But it's not wars or politics that I'm worryin' about

D'ya know that everybody pinches my butter, it's disgusting

They won't leave my butter alone, getting quite worried

You know there's nothing that's better than a little bit o' butter

You know what I mean

For keeping your old man at home, keeping him a bit busy like

You know everybody says I'm a bit old-fashioned, I'm funny that way

And I like to so sit on my things that I've got rationed

You can pinch all my ham and my plum and apple jam

But, ah, please leave my butter alone - I'll take care of it!

Please leave my butter alone, that's what I say

Everybody says that I'm old-fashioned

To sit on the things that are rationed

So, pinch all my ham and my plum and apple jam

But please leave my butter alone

Please leave my butter alone
