Lyrics:
Hello old pal I’m glad we’ve met I’ve grown quite fond of you
You’re quiet as a lamb but don’t forget we’ll show them what to do
One another we’ll stand by, to prove my worth I mean to try
You’ve got a kick and so have I, I’m making headway now
Of wheat and chaff we’ve ample stores, I know I’ll never starve because
When I’ve eaten mine I’ll start on yours, I’m making headway now
I’ve got my ambition; I’ll be the talk of the town
I’ll hold my position; they can’t keep a growing lad down
I joined a gym for exercise; a lady instructor put me wise
She made my spare parts twice the size, I’m making headway now
I’ve got a job I mean to score, for me there’s something good in store
I won’t clean windows anymore, I’m making headway now
I take a horsebox to the course, that takes quite a lot of force
I must be strong to box a horse, I’m making headway now
I’ve got my ambition, I’ll be the talk of the town
I’ll hold my position; they can’t keep a growing lad down
Once I phoned the railway folk, “give me the goods“ a lady spoke
She said, “I’m the goods,“ I said, “That’s oke,“ I’m making headway now
I mean to join the ARP, the fire brigade and the CID
Might even join the BBC, I’m making headway now
A heavyweight I had to fight, I said, “In my left there’s dynamite“
“And a couple of horseshoes in my right,“ I’m making headway now
I’ve got my ambition, I’ll be the talk of the town
I’ll hold my position -- see, they can’t keep a growing lad down
Said the girl, “If your wife I should be, of children I’d like two or three“
I said “You can leave all that to me!“ I’m making headway now
