Lyrics
With all due respect, sir,
I’d like to say a word or three
About the way you’re treating me
In front of ev’ryone.
You say I lay about and shirk,
You must take me for such a jerk.
‘Cause I do all he bleedin’ work
And you have all the fun.
Far be it from me, sir,
To dare to carp or criticize.
I just want you to realize
I don’t do this for exercise.
I just want you to see, sir,
How wicked and unfair it is.
I don’t know why, but there it is!
It’s more than I can bear,
And frankly I object,
That is with due respect!
Forgive my presumption,
I know that you’re a gentleman,
A slightly temp’ramental man,
A man of intellect.
But I suspect that your neglect
Is largely why my health is wrecked.
No ifs, no buts, I hate your guts
With all due respect.

With all due respect, sir,
I think it’s such a liberty,
The way you take it out on me.
I’m never left alone.
You tell me I’m a little squirt,
You treat me like a bit of dirt.
I haven’t even got a shirt
To call me bleedin’ own!
I don’t wish to be rude, sir,
But ev’rything I do is wrong,
You make me feel I don’t belong,
Because I dropped off in your song.
Please give me some food, sir.
A bit of bread and cheese will do,
Or maybe just a crust or two,
But something I can chew.
He feeds me once a week,
I’m much too weak to speak.
Permit me to say, sir,
I’ve had about enough of it,
I always get the rough of it.
So what can you expect?
You must detect the bad effect
You’ve had upon my self-respect.
A bleedin’ shame, but who’s to blame?
With all due respect.
