[00:00.00]Lively (Original Mix) - Lonnie Donegan
[00:00.49]Now lively is a funny word
[00:02.75]It means a lot of things
[00:05.40]But to the burglar people
[00:08.06]An urgent call it brings
[00:11.21]'Cause when they breakin' open safes
[00:13.54]Or nailin' up mail vans
[00:16.15]Lively just means Scarper boys
[00:20.98]To all the different gangs
[00:27.05]Lively lively the night is going fast
[00:30.82]Lively lively we both got murky pasts
[00:34.71]Lively lively don't leave that bloke untied
[00:38.24]'Cause if you did it's a penny to a quid
[00:40.32]That we both end up inside

[00:47.99]While she was knelt in prayer
[00:49.96]She was praying for a man
[00:51.78]What sort she didn't care
[00:53.59]We had to dive beneath the bed
[00:55.64]The dust fair made us sneeze
[00:57.41]Cor that was quick the old girl cried
[00:59.56]And jumped up off her knees
[01:01.61]Lively lively the night is going fast
[01:05.49]Lively lively we both got murky pasts
[01:09.27]Lively lively don't leave that bloke untied
[01:12.81]'Cause if you did it's a penny to a quid
[01:14.93]That we both end up inside
