Well I had an old uncle was mean as can be
He said "When I die you'll get nothin' from me"
Mustn't grumble, mustn't grumble
All he left me was an old over coat
But I found in the pocket a fifty pound note
Mustn't grumble, mustn't grumble

Now I is a do it yourselfer you see
It don't half make life easy, take it from me
Mustn't grumble, mustn't grumble
The wife wants the grass cut or a new kitchen shelf
Just do as I do and say do it yourself
Mustn't grumble, mustn't grumble

Mustn't grumble, don't worry 'bout nothin' my friend
Mustn't grumble, 'cause all's well that's well in the end
Mustn't grumble, grumble and you're on your own
Laugh and the world laughs with you
Cry and you'll cry all alone
Laugh and the world laughs with you
Mustn't grumble, mustn't grumble

I came home from work, there was firemen about
They said "we couldn't save it, youe house has burnt down"
Mustn't grumble, mustn't grumble
I said "that's allright, don't worry mate,
'Cause the bathroom needed painting, it weren't half in a state"
Mustn't grumble, mustn't grumble

Now I collect the football pools money, you see
And one week we won it, me work mates and me
Mustn't grumble, mustn't grumble
Came home from work early feelin' pleased with meself
The I saw the coupon still stuck on the shelf
Mustn't grumble, mustn't grumble

Mustn't grumble, don't worry 'bout nothin' my friend
Mustn't grumble, 'cause all's well that's well in the end
Mustn't grumble, grumble and you're on your own
Laugh and the world laughs with you
Cry and you'll cry all alone
Laugh and the world laughs with you
Mustn't grumble, mustn't grumble
