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 sayI 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' taIt was at the Galway races where I got a real hot tip

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' taI wouldn't mind, I wouldn't mind
I had a few great intentions
But a little lackadaisical more than I would care to mention

I wouldn't mind but I was goin' taWell 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 elseI 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
