            D
When I came to town, it got me down
                                     A
There was no one that I knew
              Bm                  F#m       Bm
Till I met Pete, who was kind and sweet
            A                      D                  
And he told me what to do

  Chorus:
I've tried jumping up and down
I've laced my baths with gin
But it's harder far to get it out
Than it was to put it in

Pete never told me of the ring
The cream or else the cup
Said, 'Don't take fright, it'll be alright
If you do it standing up.'

So I loved Pete all in the street
And up against the wall
He said, 'Just cough when you've had enough
And I swear you'll never fall.'

Now truth to tell, it all went well
Though I was worried in May
I got in a state, I was way past the date
And I didn't know what he'd say

Oh I don't want to get married yet
I don't want to be a wife
And I know he'd have thought that he'd been caught
If I'd tied him down for life

Last Chorus:
So I tried jumping up and down
And laced my baths with gin
But it was harder far to get it out
Than it was to put it in
