lyrics

[chorus]
Oh, I can’t read and I can’t write
But it don’t really matter
Coz I comes from Somerset
And I can drive a tractor

When I was a babby, They sent me off to school
Teacher didn’t like I, She said I was a fool
Thought of adding numbers up, Filled me with alarm
I spent all my school days, A-working on the farm… ooooooh...

[chorus]

I was courting Mary Jane, Oh what fun we had
Things got rather serious, I met her mam and dad
Asked me what my prospects were, Made I got quite red
A doctor or a lawyer p’raps? This is what I said… ooooooh...

[chorus]

Went down for an interview, Down at Bath & West
Lots of toffs in shirts and ties, All trying to impress
Gaffer took one look at them, Sent them on their way
I ain’t got no A levels, But I can level hay…
ooooooh...

[chorus]

Went down to old London Town, Streets are paved with gold
Met some dodgy geezer, Who promised me a load
Had some contract I should read, Took me to his boss
Didn’t seem too happy, When I signed it with a cross…
ooooooh...

[chorus]
[chorus]
