lyrics
It's such a skinny pay packet
It won't go very far
But what about that bookies
That used to be a bar
Maybe he can double up
And hit a lucky win
A tingle of excitement
He steps on in
But things don't go his way
And now he's lost all of his pay
Wait till his girlfriend hears
The rent I s now in arrears
He says "I'm sorry Juliet
I stopped off for a little bet
I'm just a loser who lost
And now I'm counting the cost
I tried to win it back twice
And now I'm paying the price
I'm so full of regret
I'm so sorry Juliet"
Even kids in football shirts
Have adverts on their chest
For betting shops all over town
Resistance is a test
Ads on sporting hoardings
And on the tv
A flutter surely cannot hurt
Lets see what will be
He tells her he needs a loan
To fix the screen on his phone
But he loses all the cash
And the phone screen is still smashed
He says "I'm sorry Juliet
I just wanted a little bet
I'm just a loser who lost
And now I'm counting the cost
I tried to win it back twice
And now I'm paying the price
I'm so full of regret
I'm so sorry Juliet"
And sometimes the losing's
More exciting than a win
Causing such destruction
And a rush of adrenaline
And it is such a thrill
And he's started to steal
And Juliet has found out
And she's started to shout
He says "I'm sorry Juliet
I just needed a bet
I'm just a loser who lost
And now I'm counting the cost
I tried to win it back twice
And now I'm paying the price
I'm so full of regret
I'm so sorry Juliet"
He opens up the door one night
He sees her stuff has gone
A note left on the table
"I'm moving on"
Maybe he can win her back
He's not so sure
He'd actually put money on
She won't be back for more
He says "I'm sorry Juliet
This is my worst loss yet
Now I'm counting the cost
Can't believe that you are lost
Yeah I'm sorry Juliet
Can you forgive and forget
I'm so full of regret
I'm so sorry Juliet
It won't go very far
But what about that bookies
That used to be a bar
Maybe he can double up
And hit a lucky win
A tingle of excitement
He steps on in
But things don't go his way
And now he's lost all of his pay
Wait till his girlfriend hears
The rent I s now in arrears
He says "I'm sorry Juliet
I stopped off for a little bet
I'm just a loser who lost
And now I'm counting the cost
I tried to win it back twice
And now I'm paying the price
I'm so full of regret
I'm so sorry Juliet"

about
Wobbie Wobbit London, UK
Convivial humour and unique songs
From Haringey in North London. I take part in online song writing challenges
fawm.org and fiftyninety.fawmers.org where most of my songs are written.
Most of my songs have at least a gentle humour, and those that don't I hope are just as warm.
