Now I had an old uncle as mean as can be, he said "When I die you'll get nothing from me"
Musn't grumble, musn't grumble
All he left me was an old overcoat, but I found in the pocket a fifty pound note
Musn't grumble, musn't grumble
Now I am a 'do it yourselfer' you see, it can half make life easy, take it from me
Musn't grumble, musn't grumble
If the wife wants the grass cut or a new kitchen shelf, just do as I do and say "Do it yourself"
Musn't grumble, musn't grumble
Musn't grumble, dont worry 'bout nothing my friend
Musn't grumble, 'cos all's well thats well in the end
Musn't grumble, you grumble and your on your own
Laugh and the world laughs with ya, cry and you'll cry all alone
Laugh and the world laughs with ya, musn't grumble
Now I came home from work there was firemen around, they said "We couldn't save it, your house has burnt down"
Musn't grumble, musn't grumble
I said "That's alright, dont worry mate 'cos the bathroom needed painting, it weren't half in a state"
Musn't grumble, musn't grumble
I collect the football pools money you see, and one week we won it, me workmates and me
Musn't grumble, musn't grumble
I went home early feeling pleased with meself, and I saw the coupon still stuck on the shelf
Musn't grumble, musn't grumble
Musn't grumble, musn't grumble
All he left me was an old overcoat, but I found in the pocket a fifty pound note
