Stitch in time till half past nine   In the street just next to mine   So she was tired, was tired   So she will dine at half past nine   With her parents seated by the clothes and wines   Beside the clothes and wines      She couldn't tell them why she'd stayed away   Why she'd stayed away all night   So she had lied, she had lied      People there were kind and well-fed signs   Say the government provides for your new child   Yes, the government provides   Oh, they'll provide
