A song about terrible tenants

lyrics

Brian's last tenants were really bad
To see the back of them he's so glad
I'd better not write a song about this
As it might get him into trouble
He's lucky that his house is still there
They could have left behind a pile of rubble


She worked in a kitchen at a top hotel
She left the oven in an awful state
It took a whole day to clean that oven
Having her as a tenant was a huge mistake


Brian's last tenants were really bad
To see the back of them he's so glad
I'd better not write a song about this
As it might get him into trouble
He's lucky that his house is still there
They could have left behind a pile of rubble


I don't think that she owned a hoover
And her partner was a repair man
He broke more things in six months
Than were broken since time began


Brian knows a good plumber
Who fixed the broken shower
And the damage caused by those tenants
Left a bad taste that is quite sour


Brian had to pull up loads of weeds
They left the garden in an awful mess
All that dog pooh in the grass
Left him with a feeling of great distress


Brian's last tenants were really bad
To see the back of them he's so glad
I'd better not write a song about this
As it might get him into trouble
He's lucky that his house is still there
They could have left behind a pile of rubble


To write this song you should really know
That I've gone to a lot of trouble
He's lucky that his house is still there
They could have left behind a pile of rubble
