I was born in the north of England and I remember my dad saying parts of this to me.I had no idea it was a song :dance:



Hear all, see all, say nowt,
Eat all, drink all, pay nowt.
It's a long time remember
from January to December
So hear all, see all, say nowt,
Eat all, sup all, pay nowt
And if ever thy does owt fer nowt
Always do it fer th'sen.

When I was a right young lad
Me father said t'me
Seems to me thy's growin' up
Now what's thy goin' t'be?
It all depends upon th'self
It's only up to thee
I won't say much to you again
But take this tip from me...

Hear all, see all, say nowt,
Eat all, drink all, pay nowt.
It's a long time remember
from January to December
So hear all, see all, say nowt,
Eat all, sup all, pay nowt
And if ever thy does owt fer nowt
Always do it fer th'sen.

Save thy pennies while thy can
And just do what I say,
If thy doesn't keep thy 'ead
Tha'll 'ave some brass one day.
It all depends upon th'self
It's only up to thee
But there's one thing thy can reckon on
Thy won't get owt from me.

Hear all, see all, say nowt,
Eat all, drink all, pay nowt.
It's a long time remember
from January to December
So hear all, see all, say nowt,
Eat all, sup all, pay nowt
And if ever thy does owt fer nowt
Always do it fer th'sen.
