I've been on a skin and bone ever since I left home
I can't leave the women alone
Skiddle-a-doo, skiddle-a-doo, skiddle-a-doo
I'm afraid I've burnt me boats
I've sunk everything that floats
From man's end to John O'Groats
Skiddle-a-doo, skiddle-a-doo, skiddle-a-doo
I ain't got a sense of perspective
Cos as a kid I always did exactly as was expected
Mmm, I've been under so much stress
With the girls, well, no and yes
Have I been good? Well, more or less
Skiddle-a-doo, skiddle-a-doo, skiddle-a-doo
Believe me or believe me not
I am known as something odd
It all depends on what you've got
Skiddle-a-doo, skiddle-a-doo, skiddle-a-doo
I've been told to take a rest a month or so
A year at best, it's good to get it off your chest
Skiddle-a-doo, skiddle-a-doo, skiddle-a-doo
Friends at home think that I am a rover
But between you and me I'm as happy as can be
Cos at last it looks like it's over
Mmm, I've been known as skin and bone
Ever since I left home
I can't leave the women alone
Skiddle-a-doo, skiddle-a-doo, skiddle-a-doo
Skiddle-a-doo, skiddle-a-doo, skiddle-a-doo
Skiddle-a-doo, skiddle-a-doo, skiddle-a-doo
Skiddle-a-doo
