Paroles de Flash Company

Oh the jigging and all the dancing it was all my delight And staying out late, my boys, been the ruin of me quite Staying out late, my boys, like a great many more If it hadn't've been for flash company I should never have been so poor Once I had a colour as red as any rose But now I'm as pale as the lilly that grows As the lily in the garden, my beauty's all gone If it hadn't've been for flash company I should never have been so poor So take this yellow handkerchief in remembrance of me Tie it safely round your neck when in flash company Flash company's been the ruin of a great many more If it hadn't've been for flash company I should never have been so poor If it hadn't've been for flash company I should never have been so poor
