Punch and Judy Did it truly And were married in a haste In love, maybe Using the baby As a kind of romance paste She's grown fatter Her hair cut shorter Looks much older than nineteen He's a drinker Not a thinker Baby spoiled his could-have-been This must be make-believe This must be make-believe This must be make-believe Cause who do we know, dear, who acts like that? Punch and Judy Punch and Judy In a semi On a brand new council plot Sunday lunchtime Beer-for-Punch time While his dinner's far from hot She grows tired Cab is hired She goes round to see her friend He comes back late Fool is irate We will see his temper bend This must be make-believe This must be make-believe This must be make-believe Cause who do we know, dear, who acts like that? Punch and Judy In a quandary She's walked out, and he is mad Now he's grown up Can't smash home up Retribution must be had Punch and Judy Had a baby Who brought them to married bliss Mr Punch,, Has drunken hunch That he must punish kid for this This must be make-believe This must be make-believe This must be make-believe Cause who do we know, dear, who acts like that?
