me old ball chain

The Rumjacks

Right! Hand me down that bottle of tequila from the shelf
I ll have a beer to follow & all, here take one for yerself
I ve been off the piss for ten long years & I ve a bloody thirst
And I won t be leavin here until you carry me feet first

Til I ve tripped over the speakers
& I ve fallen through the band
And told the chubby bouncer geeza
shout if ye need a hand!
I m screamin o er the bar & I m spittin in yer ear
And signin wi my hands for ya to geez another beer

Me old ball & chain is in a shallow grave
So hit me, one, two, - one two three four!
I don t have to suffer anymore

Til I ve kicked shit out yer jukebox & broken all yer darts
& Talked the friggin ears off my reflection in the glass
I ve spewed all down the front o me
& pissed all down me leg
And I m propped up in the corner like a fuckin rusty keg

Til I m snorin like a chainsaw & I m layin there catchin flies
And you ye cheeky bugger pops two pennies in me eyes
God love ye and protect ye
get yer knees up missus brown
She s topped her flamin hubby
& she s torn up half the town!
