Lyrics & Translation
English
Gather 'round!
Punch and Judy,
Did it truly,
And were married in a haste,
In love, maybe,
Using the baby,
as a kind of romance paste,
She's grown fatter,
Her hair cut shorter,
Looks much older than nineteen,
He's a drinker,
Not a thinker,
Baby spoiled his could-have-been.
This must be make-believe,
This must be make-believe,
This must be make-believe,
'Cause who do we know, dear, who acts like that?
Punch and Judy.
Punch and Judy,
In a semi,
On a brand new council plot,
Sunday lunchtime,
Beer-for-Punch time,
While his dinner's far from hot,
She grows tired,
Cab is hired,
She goes round to see her friend,
He comes back late,
Fool is irate,
We will see his temper bend.
This must be make-believe,
This must be make-believe,
This must be make-believe,
'Cause who do we know, dear, who acts like that?
Punch and Judy,
In a quandary,
She's walked out, and he is mad.
Now he's grown up,
Can't smash home up,
Retribution must be had.
Punch and Judy,
Had a baby,
Who brought them to married bliss.
Mr Punch,,
Has drunken hunch,
That he must punish kid for this
This must be make-believe,
This must be make-believe,
This must be make-believe,
'Cause who do we know, dear, who acts like that?
Punch and Judy

Punch And Judy (traducción LyricVerse Team)
¡Acérquense!
Punch y Judy,
¿Lo hicieron de verdad,
Y se casaron a toda prisa,
Enamorados, quizás,
Usando al bebé,
como una especie de pegamento romántico,
Ella ha engordado,
Su pelo cortado más corto,
Parece mucho mayor que diecinueve,
Él es un bebedor,
No un pensador,
El bebé arruinó lo que pudo haber sido.
Esto debe ser fantasía,
Esto debe ser fantasía,
Esto debe ser fantasía,
Porque, ¿a quién conocemos, querida, que actúe así?
Punch y Judy.
Punch y Judy,
En una casa adosada,
En un nuevo terreno municipal,
La hora del almuerzo del domingo,
Hora de la cerveza para Punch,
Mientras su cena está lejos de estar caliente,
Ella se cansa,
Se contrata un taxi,
Ella va a ver a su amiga,
Él vuelve tarde,
El tonto está furioso,
Veremos su temperamento ceder.
Esto debe ser fantasía,
Esto debe ser fantasía,
Esto debe ser fantasía,
Porque, ¿a quién conocemos, querida, que actúe así?
Punch y Judy,
En un aprieto,
Ella se ha ido, y él está furioso.
Ahora ha crecido,
No puede destrozar la casa,
Debe haber retribución.
Punch y Judy,
Tuvieron un bebé,
Que los llevó a la dicha conyugal.
Señor Punch,,
Tiene la corazonada de borracho,
De que debe castigar al niño por esto
Esto debe ser fantasía,
Esto debe ser fantasía,
Esto debe ser fantasía,
Porque, ¿a quién conocemos, querida, que actúe así?
Punch y Judy
