about

Hey Wot Ya Doin’ was inspired - if that is the right word - by a guy I shared a house with at Leeds University. In order to protect the innocent I will call him Pike (“Don't tell him!”).

Pike was a tall, good looking Maths student from Devon and irritatingly for the rest of us he was a genius, on his way to the most untroubled first-class degree imaginable. He was also an incorrigible womaniser.

It was a not uncommon scenario on a Sunday morning when, as the rest of us were feeding our hangovers with greasy fried egg sandwiches, Pike would descend the stairs with a sheepish grin on his face and his latest conquest in tow. She would be treated to the best breakfast he could muster and a nice cup of tea before disappearing out of the door never to be seen again.

We were always aghast, a mixture of disgust and awe at Pike's behaviour, as we made our way wearily to the pub for lunch. Happy days. 

lyrics

HEY WOT YA DOIN'

Woke up in the morning,
Looked down by my side
What I saw there didn't fill me with pride
There was a girl I'd never seen before
Asking me if I wanted some more

I said now hey wot ya doin' in my bed
Hey wot ya doin' in my bed
I said now hey wot ya doin' in my bed
Won’t you please go home

When I asked her what she was doing there
She said I'd picked her up in a pub for an affair
We went back home and we shared my bed
Now the beers and whiskies doin' funny things to my head

I said now hey wot ya doin' in my bed
Hey wot ya doin' in my bed
I said now hey wot ya doin' in my bed
Won’t you please go home

Went back to bed the next night
Lordy, lord, lord, I got such a fright
There was a girl I'd seen once before
Telling me she wanted more, more, more

I said now hey wot ya doin' in my bed
Hey wot ya doin' in my bed
I said now hey wot ya doin' in my bed
Won’t you please go home
