[Verse 1] Never been to school Ive never been to college Sooner be dead than stuff me head With a load of useless knowledge I never couldnt see No point in history Cause I werent there So I dont care So dont tell I, tell ee [Chorus 1] Dont tell I, tell ee Thats my philosophy When folks do cuss And start a fuss Dont tell I, tell ee [Verse 2] Young Sarah Jones one day Got in the family way Her father come with a girt big gun Said, Ee, youll have to pay, He chased I up a tree I hollered, Leave I be I happen to know twere old Fred Snow So dont blame I, blame ee. [Chorus 2] Dont tell I, tell ee Thats my philosophy When folks do swear And tear their hair Dont tell I, tell ee [Verse 3] I took a ride one night A PC hove in sight He made it up Because Id got no brakes, no bell, no light Ill sling the book at ee, That copper said with glee I said, Sling all you like, tis your dads bike So dont tell I, tell ee. [Chorus 3] Dont tell I, tell ee Thats my philosophy When folks do fuss And start to cuss Dont tell I, tell ee [Verse 4] I got a lift to town From good old farmer Brown In a ten tonne truck with a load o muck When he set us down A drink we did agree It would be good for we The barmaid Rose, she held her nose I said, Dont smell I, smell ee. [Chorus 2] Dont tell I, tell ee Thats my philosophy When folks do swear And tear their hair Dont tell I, tell ee [Bridge] Oh, ah, then, clever stuff [Verse 5] The vicar came along He said, You know tis wrong You gets tight on a Friday night. I answered ee real strong Now, parson, youll agree The Lord created me And Im afraid tis how Im made So, dont tell I, tell ee. [Outro] Yeah
