I'm Making Headway Now
Hello old pal, I'm glad we met
I've grown quite fond of you
You're quiet as a lamb, but don't forget
We'll show 'em what's to do!
One another, we'll stand by
To prove my words I mean to try
You've got a kick and so have I
I'm makin' headway now!
Of wheat and chaff we've ample stores
I know I'll never starve because
When I've eaten mine I'll start on yours
I'm makin' headway now!
I've got my ambition
I'll be the talk of the town
I'll hold my position
They can't keep a growin' lad down!
I joined a gym for exercise
A lady instructor put me wise
She made me spare parts twice the size
I'm makin' headway now!
I've got a job and I mean to score
For me there's somethin' good in store
I won't clean winders anymore
I'm makin' headway now!
I take a horsebox to the course
That takes quite a lot of force
I must be strong to box a horse
I'm makin' headway now!
I've got my ambition
I'll be the talk of the town
I'll hold my position
They can't keep a growin' lad down!
Once I phoned the railway folk
"Give me the goods!" A lady spoke
She said, "I'm the goods!", and I said, "That's oke!"
I'm makin' headway now!
I mean to join the ARP
The Fire Brigade and the CID
I might even join the BBC
I'm makin' headway now!
A heavyweight I had to fight
I said, "In me left there's dynamite
And a couple of horseshoes in me right!"
I'm makin' headway now!
I'll hold my ambition
I'll be the talk of the town
I'll hold my position
They can't keep a growin' lad down!
Said the girl, "If your wife I should be
Of children I'd like two or three"
I said, "You can leave all that to me!"
I'm makin' headway now!
I've grown quite fond of you
You're quiet as a lamb, but don't forget
We'll show 'em what's to do!
One another, we'll stand by
To prove my words I mean to try
You've got a kick and so have I
I'm makin' headway now!
Of wheat and chaff we've ample stores
I know I'll never starve because
When I've eaten mine I'll start on yours
I'm makin' headway now!
I've got my ambition
I'll be the talk of the town
