The Signature tune of the Pompeydours.
(Music and word by William Barrow)
This is the moment to wish you hello
so bring up the curtain an on with the show,
we ll entertain you for a while
with a dance and a story, a song and a smile,
We ll introduce to you some of the girls,
Maybe you ll know them, from sight,
Beauty s in fashion, they re off the ration,
Reading from left to right.
I sing just for the joy,
I sing about a boy,
we both dance, we hope you ll like us maybe,
Don t forget me here cos I m the baby
We ll act in a sketch for you,We act in sketches too
Now and then we all agree
Sing like this in harmony
We are the ladies of the party.
We are the men yes the men
requesting your attention now and again
Rough and tough and big and bluff
Dark and fair and round and square,
but men all of us are men
Never mind those dainty shes
look us over if you please,
we re strong in the lead if week in the knees
We re men, all of us men.
We re the men yes the men,
Requesting your attention now and again
Strong and long and right and wrong
Slow and quick and thin and thick
but we re men all of us men,
The Pompadour she had hommes
For every her must have a he
and maybe there s one of us, your cup of tea
We re men all of us men.
We re the men yes the men
Requesting your attention now and again,
Light and bright and sober and tight,
Young and old and timid and bold,
But men, all of us men.
We; re out to raise a million quid,
and don t tell us it can t be did,
But dig into your pockets where the pennies have hid
Like men everyone men.
So disregard those dainty fiskers?
They may grow lovely but they can t grow whiskers.
No one would think to look at us now,
The boys and girls could develop a vow,
That ;s not at all what we feel
when we re here in the Bishops appeal,
Please understand by our signature tune,
very sincerely are yours,
The Sam s and the Sues who want to thank you,
Known as the Pompeydours.
Wed like to continue with song and a rhyme
We ve just got acquainted but look at the time,
Hardly got started and then
We ve all got to go back to Pompey again,
Just let us give in our signature tune
A message each one of us sends
So we address you, Goodnight and God bless you,
So long from the Pompeydours.
