lirik lagu george formby – they laughed when i started to play
now when i learned to play the ukulele,
i used to practice day and night.
my pals all roared as i fumbled at a chord,
but i couldn’t get the darned thing right.
they laughed when i started to play, they laughed so hearty.
only two lessons i had, i went up the scale and down the scale,
it wasn’t so bad
but one chap, he said “oh what a mug, why you can’t learn that way”
he took the uke off me and said “now i’ll have a try”
just then the ‘g’ string bust and flew right into his eye.
he laughed when i started to play, but he didn’t laugh again all day
oh they laughed when i started to play, oh they laughed so hearty
strip poker that’s a good game,
once i lost my trousers to a gambling dame
but when, i started shuffling the cards, then the luck came my way.
i won a frock and undies, she was left i declare
as bare as any savage and as savages are bear
she laughed when i started to play,
but she didn’t laugh again that day.
now once i watched a game of water polo,
with players from a ladies school.
the girls all cried “won’t you make up a side?”
so i dashed into the bathing pool.
they laughed when i started to play, oh how they laughed so hearty.
in goal, i paddled about, a big ball in the water soon i started to clout.
each time, that it came bobbing back, well i smacked it away.
just then the ball turned over and a girl said “no larks”,
“seven times you’ve hit me where i can’t show the marks.”
she laughed when i started to play,
but she didn’t laugh again that day.
