Carry On By—Lyrics

Written by Thisbe Vos


I’ve got my cats in the alley
I’ve got the birds in the sky
So if you don’t think that you can get yourself together, daddy
Then you just carry on by

I’ve got my wits, yeah, I’m a baddy
I’ve got the sun way up high
So you better get on and get yourself together, daddy
Or you just carry on by

It’s true, you’re a wonder
With your looks and your smile
But I’m not looking to be under some spell
Unless it’s gonna last all the while 

I need a man, not just a laddy
No need for rovers to apply
So if you’re gonna be slow to get yourself together, daddy
Then you just carry on by
Then you just carry on by
Then you just carry on by
