"Tally Ho...Pip Pip"
TA TA
TALLY HO
PIP PIP ...
Goodnight I say
Or I will flip...
So hard to sleep
To catch those
zzzzzz 's ...
My ankles are swollen
I got to sneeze...
The bloody weather is cold outside...
So in my nighty
Under blankets I hide...
But now I'm hungry
I want some cake...
I'm too tired
to start to bake...
Some chip butty's
I'll get for me...
Then I'll start to clean these keys...
I try to send out my mail...
Bloody Food in the keyboard
For sure I'll fail...
What is that against my toes ?
The blimy dog with its cold damn nose!
I'm so tired, but need a smoke...
Tip toe to Me Brothers room
The nasty Bloke...
Phew, that was close,
I'm glad he snores...
Now I have to lock me doors...
Puff puff, yawn, can't do no more...
ta ta
pip pip
and tally ho...
Off to dreamland
I shall go...

Pip pip - Another out-dated expression meaning goodbye.
Not used any more.
Ta - We said "ta" as kids in Liverpool for years
before we even knew it was short for thanks.
Arse - This is a word that doesn't seem to exist in America.
It basically means the same as ass, but is much ruder.
It is used in phrases like "pain in the arse" (a nuisance)
or I "can't be arsed" (I can't be bothered)
or you might hear something was "a half arsed attempt"
meaning that it was not done properly.
Baccy - Tobacco. The sort you use to roll your own.
Barmy - If someone tells you that you're barmy
they mean you have gone mad or crazy.
For example you'd have to be barmy
to visit England without trying black pudding!
Beastly - You would call something or somebody beastly
if they were really nasty or unpleasant.
Most people would consider you a snob
or an upper class git if you used this word.
People like Fergie can get away with it though.
Bender - I used to go out on a bender quite frequently
when I was at university.
Luckily bender doesn't only mean a gay man,
it also means a pub crawl or a heavy drinking session.
The sort of bender I went out on was the second kind. Obviously!
Bleeding - An alternative to the word bloody.
You'll hear people say "bleeding hell" or "not bleeding likely" for example.
Blimey - Another exclamation of surprise.
My Dad used to say "Gawd Blimey" or "Gor Blimey" or even "Cor Blimey".
It is all a corruption of the oath God Blind Me.
Bloody - One of the most useful swear words in English.
Mostly used as an exclamation of surprise i.e.
"bloody hell" or "bloody nora".
Something may be "bloody marvellous" or "bloody awful".
It is also used to emphasise almost anything,
"you're bloody mad",
"not bloody likely"
and can also be used in the middle of other words to emphasise them
. E.g. "Abso-bloody-lutely"!
Americans should avoid saying "bloody" as they sound silly.
Cheeky - "Eee you cheeky monkey" was what my mother said to me
all the time when I was a kid.
Cheeky means you are flippant,
have too much lip or are a bit of a smart arse!
Generally you are considered to be a bit cheeky
if you have an answer for everything and always have the last word.
My licence plate on my MX5 (Miata in American) was CHEEKY,
which most Texans thought was something to do with bottoms - wrong!!
Cracking - If something is cracking, it means it is the best.
Usually said without pronouncing the last "G".
If a girl is cracking it means she is stunning.
Fagged - If you are too lazy or tired to do something you could say "I can't be fagged".
It means you can't be Bothered.
Gutted - If someone is really upset by something they might say that they were gutted.
Like when you are told that you have just failed your driving test!
Jimmy - Actually short for Jimmy Riddle. i.e.
I'm off for a Jimmy Riddle.
This is Cockney rhyming slang for piddle!
Off your trolley - If someone tells you that you're off your trolley,
it means you have gone raving bonkers, crazy, mad!
Yonks - "Blimey, I haven't heard from you for yonks".
If you heard someone say that it would mean
that they had not seen you for ages!
