I Wouldn't Mind But I Was Goin' To Lyrics - Mike Denver

There was football on the telly when I heard the doorbell ring 

"Have you your TV license"? said the inspector with a grin 

I knew I should have got one, had been meaning to for days 

I stuttered and I stammered while I wondered what to say 

I wouldn't mind, I wouldn't mind at all 

I wouldn't mind but I was goin' ta 

I don't know why I left it lie 

And I never quite got round ta 

Half of me told me that I should 

And the other half told me not ta 

I wouldn't mind, I wouldn't mind at all 

I wouldn't mind but I was goin' ta 

It was at the Galway races where I got a real hot tip 

Put your money on the filly and back her to the hilt 

The missus wagged her finger - If you lose, go pack your bag 

The horse came in at 10 to 1 butI never backed that nag! 

I wouldn't mind, I wouldn't mind at all 

I wouldn't mind but I was goin' ta 

I don't know why I left it lie 

And I never quite got round ta 

Half of me told me that I should 

And the other half told me not ta 

I wouldn't mind, I wouldn't mind at all 

I wouldn't mind but I was goin' ta 

I wouldn't mind, I wouldn't mind 

I had a few great intentions 

But a little lackadaisical more than I would care to mention 

And something deep inside me head says "Will ya now or won't ya?" 

I wouldn't mind, I wouldn't mind at all 

I wouldn't mind but I was goin' ta 

Well I can't count the many times I had a real good hunch 

A big and bright idea where I could have made a bunch 

But I dillied and I dallied and as sure as you can bet 

Before I go and do it, sure its done by someone else 

I wouldn't mind, I wouldn't mind at all 

I wouldn't mind but I was goin' ta 

I don't know why I left it lie 

And I never quite got round ta 

Half of me told me that I should 

And the other half told me not ta 

I wouldn't mind, I wouldn't mind at all 

I wouldn't mind but I was goin' ta
