Like it or Lump it. (song lyric).

like it or lump it
The boss called me over, he gave me that look
The one that says “Butty, there ain’t no more work”
I begged and I pleaded to stay on the books
He snarled as he spat – ” I don’t give a fook”
He said, Pal, you can like it or lump it oright? Pal, you can like it or lump it oright? Pal, you can like it or lump it oright? –
So I lumped him to the floor with the sweetest left hook.

10 o’clock, and I’s sat in the bar
Landlord says he won’t serve me no more
I said I ain’t leaving til I had one more jar.
He said I’d drunk far too much and I’d gone far too far!
He said, “Pal you can like it or lump it oright? Pal, you can like it or lump it oright? Pal, you can like it or lump it oright?
So I lumped him on the nose and I made him see stars!

Rent man came, he said with a sneer,
“Look yer now butt, you’re months in arrears.
I said, “Gimme a week and I’ll see you clear”.
He says, “Pay me now or you’re outta here”!
Say’n, “Pal you can like it or lump it oright? Pal, you can like it or lump it oright? Pal, you can like it or lump it oright?
So I lumped him – right on the jaw and left to his ear!

The cops come and I bashed their heads at the scene.
I’s arrested for the mayhem wherever I’d been.
I said, chwarae teg mun, I’m not really mean
But those takers and fakers are stealing my dreams.

There’s a cop with a broken head.
A rent man with a busted jaw
Landlord with his nose blood red
And me boss flat out on the floor.

Judge shook his head, the jury’s teeth clenched
I said, “M’lud, may I approach the bench?”
I guess he thought I’s about to repent
But I nutted him good and down he went!…….

Then in the court, there was not a sound
Journos, politicos and twits all around.
Judge, cop and rent man, landlord and boss
I gave them all full blast of my thoughts…

Say’n “M’lud, you can like it or lump it oright?
you can all like it or lump it oright?
Feckin world can like it or lump it oright?
I won’t take any more of this ugly bullshite!

Some started as songs, some have those have been rewritten to present more poem like characteristics and some I’ve just left as they are. I’ll go through individual piece if interested.
