Becoming More Like Alfie

(Wot, you all settled then? Right, we can begin. My name is...) (Alfie!) Once there was a time when my mind lay on higher things And once there was a time I could find pretty words to sing But now, well now I find it saves time to say what you mean I know it seems so unrefined But it's time to let off some steam Oh come on! Everybody knows that No means Yes just like gla*ses come free on the N.H.S But the more I look through them the more I see I'm becoming more like Alfie Once there was a time when a kind word could be enough Andonce there was a time I could blindfold myself with love But not now - now I'm resigned to the kind of life I'd reserved for other guys less smart than I Y'know the kind who will always end up with the girls And besides everybody knows that No means Yes just like gla*ses come free on the N.H.S But the more I look through them the more I see I'm becoming more like Alfie Oh come on! I'm becoming more like Alfie
