I’ve got nowt against the poor handicapped
Some of them even drink beer
And I don’t mind admitting I mix with them,
the odd time one wanders in here

Been known to buy Jack a Newcastle Brown
He’s blind and he uses a crutch
We always let him sit here next to us
Mind, nobody talks to him much . . .

Ahhhh
ahhhh ahhhh

Me sister’s bairn was born spastic
Confined to an invalid chair
But it’s marvellous what all those specialist schools
Can do for those poor kids like her

So don’t make fun of the handicapped
Because some of them have feelings too
It’s not their fault that they’re made like they are
Just be thankful it’s not one of you

And I think they were sent for a bloody good cause
Just to make normal folk stop and think
There but for the grace of the good Lord go I
‘Ere, does anyone want one more drink?

Yeahhh,
yeahh yeahh

You reckon that you’re our champion
Defender of all our crips
But I just can’t believe the crap that I’ve heard
That comes pouring out of your lips

You like to keep us
where you think we belong
With sentiment and prejudice
I hope that some tosspot talks shite about you
Next time you go out on the piss!

Yeahh,
Yeahh, yeahh
