There Are Bad Times Just Around The Corner Lyrics

They're out of sorts in Sunderland

 And terribly cross in Kent

 They're down in Hull

 And the isle of Mall

 Is seething with discontent

 They're nervous in northumberland

 And Devon is down the drain

 They're filled with wrath on Firth of Forth

 And sullen on Salisbury plain

 In Dublin they're depressed lads

 Maybe because they're Celts

 For drake is hurrying West, lads

 And so is everyone else

 

 Hurray! Hurray! Hurray!

 Misery is here to stay

 There are bad times just around the corner

 There are dark clouds hurtling through the sky

 And it's no good whining

 About a silver lining

 For we know from experience they won't roll by

 With a scowl and a frown we'll keep our peckers down

 And prepare for depression and doom and dread

 We're going to unpack our troubles from our old kit bag

 And wait until we drop down dead

 

 They're nervous in Nigeria

 They're all going crazy in Crete

 In Bucharest they're so depressed

 They're frightend to cross the streets

 In maine the melancholia

 Is deeper than tongue can tell

 In Monako all the croupiers know

 They haven't a hope in hell

 In far away Australia

 Each wallaby is well aware

 The world's a total failure

 Without any time to spare

 

 Hurray! Hurray! Hurray!

 Suffering and dismay

 There are bad times just around the corner

 The horizon is gloomy as can be

 There are black birds over

 The greyish cliffs of Dover

 And the rats are preparing to leave the BBC

 We're unhappy breed and very bored indeed

 When reminded of something that Nelson said

 While the press and the politicians nag, nag, nag

 We'll wait until we drop down dead

 

 There are bad times just around the corner

 And the outlook's absolutely vile

 There are home fires smoking from Windermere to Woking

 And we're not going to tighten our belt and

 Smile Smile Smile

 At the sound of shots

 We'd just as soon as not

 Get a hot water bottle and go to bed

 We're going to unpack our troubles from our old kit bag

 And wait until we drop down dead

 I like your story

 Land of Hope and Glory

 Wait until we drop down dead
