Wallis & Matilda

Any Other Time

All of us play our very best game
Any other time.
Golf or billiards, it's all the same
Any other time.
Lose a match and you always say,
'Just my luck! I was 'off' today!
I could have beaten him quite half-way
Any other time!'

After a fiver you ought to go
Any other time.
Every man that you ask says 'Oh,
Any other time.
Lend you a fiver? I'd lend you two,
But I'm overdrawn and my bills are due,
Wish you'd ask me now, mind you do
Any other time!'

Fellows will ask you out to dine
Any other time.
'Not tonight for we're twenty-nine
Any other time.
Not tomorrow, for cook's on strike;

Not next day, I'll be out on the bike;
Just drop in whenever you like
Any other time!'

Seasick passengers like the sea
Any other time.
'Something . . I ate . . disagreed . . with . . me!
Any other time.
Ocean-travelling is .. simply bliss,
Must be my . . liver . . has gone amiss . .
Why, I would . . laugh . . at a sea . . like this
Any other time!'

Most of us mean to be better men
Any other time:
Regular upright characters then
Any other time.
Yet somehow as the years go by
Still we gamble and drink and lie,
When it comes to the last we'll want to die
Any other time!
