Mighty Like A Rose

You have drowned a thousand sorrows all in one
And mixed with mugs and millionaires you have done
Ya' been and gone and done it for a quid
And just what you don't know, up there you got hid

Lord, you're only fourteen summers
And God knows, yeah, child
You're getting mighty like a rose

You got pulled for trying to straighten up this town
And looked bashful bribing old, bent Barrister Brown

Ya' know, their turning on in the classroom ain't the point
It's when you're missing out teacher teach ya' how to
Roll a joint

Lord, hey, while you're down there looking up my nose
Yeah, child you're getting mighty like a rose

Next time they try to fire me, ya' make the scene
You're getting sugar cubes for breakfast
Ya' know what I mean

And the, the hazard oh the wind blows through you' ears
Ya' haven't got enough of those
What ya' haven't got for years
Yeah, but never mind stepping on my toes
Yeah, child, you're getting mighty like a rose

Yeah, hey, hey, you're mighty like a rose
Uh-huh, aww, aww, aww, aww, aww, aww
Mmm-mm, mmm-mm, mmm-mm, mmm-mm...
