Lyrics
A shy young maid has took a room down at the village Inn,
Her bedside light is oh so bright and the curtains oh so thin,
She enters the room at nine o’clock at half past nine she sleeps,
Lord Clarendon walks quickly on but naughty Samuel peeps.

Chorus:
I know it’s right it’s in black and white,
And it’s all written down in his diary.

Last Monday morn my lady wife sent me to the butcher’s shop,
The butcher asked politely if I’d care for a mutton chop,
I smiled and said a small sheep’s head is really all I seek,
And leave the eyes in ‘cos it’s got to see us through the week.

Chorus:
Oh we know it’s right it’s in black and white,
And it’s all written down in his diary.

I know a shy young shepherd boy and Baaa-sil is his name,
He has a sister called Anna who sets my heart aflame,
Through woodland glade and meadows green I did walk with this fair lass,
But she slipped in a cow-slip and she fell down on the grass.

Chorus:
I know it’s right it’s in black and white,
And it’s all written down in his diary.

Oh I stooped down, and picked her up her manner was serene
Kind Sir said she “pray put me down you don’t know where I’ve been”
Baaa-sil begged me to marry her and this to me did say
Please wed my sister Anna for she’s in everybody’s way.

Chorus:
I know it’s right it’s in black and white,
And it’s all written down in his diary.

Half way up a wall outside a castle in Tranmere
There’s a sign which reads “A Duke was born here”
I’ve travelled far, I’ve travelled wide but ne’er can I recall
Of ever hearing of a Duke born half way up a wall.
Chorus:
I know it’s right it’s in black and white,
And it’s all written down in his diary.

I want to rent a lady’s house she handed me the key
She said “It’s to be let as it stands with all that you can see”
And are you to be let with the house said I with a very saucy tone
She said “I’m not to be let with the house I’m to be let alone”.

Chorus:
We know it’s right it’s in black and white
And it’s all written down in his diary,
We know it’s right it’s in black and white
And it’s all written down in his diary
