The words "Gore Blimey" or "Gor Blimey" is a phrase originally used by Londoners, generally in the East End and is a contraction of the phrase "God blind me" which is an oath. As an example "God blind me if I'm telling a lie." I also thought the lyrics were "'ow's your Bert's lumbago?" I must admit that no matter how often I heard that song when playing pool in my mis-spent youth during the '70s, I didn't realise it said "To sing in ya Karzi."

Correction 2:
To sing in your party
should be
To sing in ya karzi
British slang for toilet, in this case located in the back yard where one could sit and gaze at the moon.
To sing in your party
Commenters are right, but I think its 'sit on your kharzi' - and spelt with an 'h'. Indian, origianlly I think, brought back from the Empire.
