Mouth and Trousers

You tell me to look before I look
'Cause a robin's tongue gathers no moss
But don't catch a chicken before they hatch
And don't let the flies eat them off
A bird in the hand's worth two in the bush
It's one of the other, not the dozen of the other
But I think I'll have another quick drink
Then go and see my mother
'Cause you're all mouth and trousers
But that's no good for me
You're giving me a headache
With your guts in bird's nest
And you're barking up the wrong tree
I'm trying to get money for old clothes
To reach my aspirations
Early bird gets the worm
But the train's already left the station
One man's meat is another man's poison
Two wrongs don't make a right
But don't put your daughter on the stake
Mrs. Smith, and don't let your baby catch a light
'Cause you're all mouth and trousers
But that's no good for me
You're giving me a headache
With your guts in bird's nest
And you're barking up the wrong tree
There's too many cooks that spoil the crock
But worse things happen at sea
The more range cook makes lighter work
But you can't fry a mouse with twenty feet
I know that patience is a virtue
Three people make a crowd
But I think I'm going down with an headache, John
'Cause your trumpet's getting too loud
'Cause you're all mouth and trousers
But that's no good for me
You're giving me a headache
With your guts in bird's nest
And you're barking up the wrong tree
'Cause you're all mouth and trousers
But that's no good for me
You're giving me a headache
With your guts in bird's nest
And you're barking up the wrong tree
'Cause you're all mouth and trousers
But that's no good for me
You're giving me a headache
With your guts in bird's nest
And you're barking up the wrong tree
