The Savoy Ballroom knitters curse

Select language to translate this lyric

James was tall & he sang in a band,
I knitted a glove for each beautiful hand,
he complained that they itched his skin,
I found them in the kitchen bin.
Simon was bald, round & strong,
I knitted a scarf three metres long.
I wrapped it round him nice & tight
then he escaped on tuesday night
Don't knit for your lover!
Don't cast a single stitch.
Put your wool & needles away
or lonely & single you will stay
Don't knit for your lover!
Don't cast a single stitch.
Put your wool & needles away
or lonely & single you will stay
Andy's socks were made in one day,
carefully knitted a manly grey.
As soon as put them on his feet,
he set of running down the street
Ollie was a boy who always felt the cold,
so I knitted up a jumper with stripes so bold
but as soon as I put it over his head,
he swore at me & went to the pub instead.
Don't knit for your lover!
Don't cast a single stitch.
Put your wool & needles away
or lonely & single you will stay
Don't knit for your lover!
Don't cast a single stitch.
Put your wool & needles away
or lonely & single you will stay
Drop like a stitch I've come unraveled.
Wool romance turned for the worse
The faster I knit the faster they run
I've been hit by the knitters curse!
Drop like a stitch I've come unraveled.
Wool romance turned for the worse
The faster I knit the faster they run
I've been hit by the knitters curse!
Don't knit for your lover!
Don't cast a single stitch.
Put your wool & needles away
or lonely & single you will stay
Don't knit for your lover!
Don't cast a single stitch.
Put your wool & needles away
or lonely & single you will stay
