But I'm ready to sing, now I've had one or two, So you swine at the back needn't run for the loo; You can put up with me like I've put up with you And I'd like you to join in the chorus. Although my guitar I relentlessly bring, It's never in tune when you ask me to sing So I'll go a capella with this little thing, And it's not what I'd sing when I'm sober. There are ninety-four verses I'll stop to explain And I learned them this morning with infinite pain. I'll just mumble the ones I've forgotten again, And I'd like you to join in the chorus. The verses, of cuckoos and valleys so deep My intent from the ears of the innocent keep, But you know what I mean if you've not gone to sleep And It's not what I'd sing when I'm sober. And after the sex comes the violence and gore With murders and stabbings and blood on the floor But before all the squeamish ones run for the door I'd like you to join in the chorus I go round pretending I gathered this lay From an ancient agrarian covered with hay On the floor of the pub where the old fellow lay 'Cause it's not what I'd sing when I'm sober. But the truth is to tell that I stole the refrain, The characters' motives I cannot explain, And next week I'm planning to sing it again, And I'd like you to join in the chorus. I scribbled it down on the back of this sheet Which I tore from the roll as I sat on the seat At the back of the pub where the folk-singers meet, But it's not what I'd sing when I'm sober. I carry it round to the clubs where I go, And I ask at the door can I join in the show, And this was the first one that didn't say 'no', And I'd like you to join in the chorus. @drink see also LIMERAKE filename[ FKLAMENT play.exe LIMERPRG DD ===DOCUMENT BOUNDARY Related Lyrics Random lyrics: Forsaken Lover, Fortune My Foe, Forty Is Sporty, Fotheringay, Fountain Filled With Blood, Four Green Fields, Four Long Hours Of Driving, Four Loom Weaver, Four Pence A Day, Four Pounds A Day, Four Prominent Bastards, Four Strong Winds, Four Wet Pigs, Fourteen Days Leave, Fox, Fox Hollow Song, France Anthem Text, Frankie And Johnnie, Freeborn Man Of The Traveling People, Freedom Calling, Freedoms On The Wallaby, Freight Train, French Canadian Anthem Text, French Native Anthem Text, Friendly Fac And Green Beret, Frig The Flying Fortress, Friggin In The Riggin, Froggy He, From A Distanceby Julie Gold, Frosty The Snowman, Frozen Logger, Funeral Party, Funny Happy Birthday Song, Furry Day Carol, Fword, G Suits And Parachutes, Gairdner Child, Gal I Left Behind Me, Gallowa Hills, Galveston Flood, Galway Shawl, Gambia Anthem Text, Game Of Cards, Gaol Song, Garden Where The Praties Grow, Garlic Song, Garryowen, Garton Mothers Lullaby, Gather Up The Pots, Gaudete, Other Unknown song Lyrics 99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall Lyrics A Bird in a Gilded Cage Lyrics A Fenian Song Lyrics A Fool Such As I Lyrics A Friend Like You Lyrics A Hero of the Wrong War Lyrics A Horse Named Bill Lyrics A Hundred Years from Now Lyrics A Kangaroo Sat on an Oak Lyrics A Little Bit of Solitude Lyrics A Living Wage Lyrics ...Show All Other Artists Unknown Prophets Lyrics Unleashed Lyrics Unleashed Power Lyrics Unlimited Nation Lyrics Unlimited Sound Lyrics UNLOCO Lyrics Unlord Lyrics UNLV Lyrics Unni Wilhelmsen Lyrics Uno Svenningsson Lyrics All lyrics are property and copyright of their owners and are strictly for educational purposes only. lyricstrue.net Copyright © 2005-2007 All Rights Reserved., , Privacy policy
