We get a wide variety of all comers on this patch Variety's the spice of life, but sometime's there's a catch I come here for the culture, The Cosmopolis is good But even I get terrified... by a nipper in a hood We've always had an open heart 'Cause every walk of life is a work of art I get my pine nuts from Camisa Dumplings from Mr Jerk Bar Italia for the coffee You wanna see how those boys work But when we all get to the weekend You see the townies on the pull They don't have much respect. Is it the Vodka or Red Bull? Yes, some of them go to far you know The trouble that we get here, it ain't ever been home grown Yes we want you to feel at home now So mind your manners on the manor and you'll know how You know we want you to fit right in here So mind your manners on the manor if you don't live here Because we want you to feel cosy So mind your manners on the manor and don't be nosy Well I learnt my trade on the Totty Court Road Not quite bustin' rhymes, more a kind of ode To a community of diversity Which is why they always sell hello to me I earned my stripes busking on a bench Now I'm welcome everywhere I go from AA... ...to The French But you've got to keep your eye out For that certain clientele The kind that throw up on your doorstep Then ruffle your lapel We've all learnt to accept the trials of National Debt But there ain't no excuse for lack of etiquette Yes we want you to feel at home now So mind your manners on the manor and you'll know how You know we want you to fit right in here So mind your manners on the manor if you don't live here What would Charles the second say if he were alive today? His statue in the Square looks grim With pigeon droppings on his chin Would he pray for us in old St Paul's? Or would he grab us by the balls? Charlie wouldn't be impressed But Nellie Gwynne would keep him fresh Yes we want you to feel at home now So mind your manners on the manor and you'll know how You know we want you to fit right in here So mind your manners on the manor if you don't live here Because we want you to feel cosy So mind your manners on the manor and don't be nosy So mind your manners on the manor and don't be nosy So mind your manners on the manor and don't be nosy So mind your manners on the manor and don't be nosy
