by Jim Pembroke. Album: Hard'n'Horny (1969)
From the album's lyric sheet. On the right, lines from the Jim Pembroke Songbook (1976).

Watch your step now Henry,
you're a long way out
Watch your step now Henry,
Kingdom Come straight on out,
straight on out

Watch your step now Henry,
don't take a left for a right                       don't take not left for a right
Watch your step now Henry,
don't take flop for a flight                        don't take a flop for a flight

You know the road you're on,
just do the best you can
They've told all before                             They told you all before
you've got to be a man

When traffic lights turn red and green and          When traffic lights turn red and green,
blue and black and tan
just take that compass in your hand and
do the best you can!

You've learnt your Highway Code                     You've read your Highway Code
and how to miss a crash
but watch yourself because if you do,               but watch yourself 'cos if you do
you can't get out with cash

You know the road, the road you're on,              Y'know the road, the road you're on
at least the most that's told
but nothing about the traffic jams                  but nothing 'bout the traffic jams
or being bought and sold
