lyrics

Some men drink to their sweethearts some men drink to your health
Me I drink to excess and I often toast myself
I came home drunk this morning the wife began to shout
We fought beside the window and we had a falling out
'Twas April Forty-Second a day I still forget
The storms were on the ocean and the fish were getting wet
I pulled them up to safety and strung them on a line
I dried them in a skillet now those fish are doing fine
I gambled my last dollar got thrown out in the street
Took off my Eton collar- there was nothing left to eat
I broke out of the poorhouse and through the woods I went
The bloodhounds never found me for I did not have a cent
My baby has no manners my baby has no charm
And God was pouring in her brains when someone knocked his arm
She's pretty as a picture that wasn't painted good
I gaze at her for hours when she's outside chopping wood
Into a vat of chili there fell a factory man
His partner said Well so long pal I'll see you when I can
The preacher loved a schoolgirl harassed her on the phone
And followed her while whistling "You'll Never Walk Alone"
That funeral director that guy's an awful flirt
His comfort and consoling's just to grab a piece of skirt
He's felt a lot of widows' bosoms heaving as they grieved
And all his pretty orphans must be seen to be bereaved
My school was the burlesque my teacher had no clothes
I climbed up to her rescue and her fescue struck my nose
Sometimes I find a nickel sometimes I find a dime
And once I found a quarter boy! we had a swell old time
"Oh doctor save my buddy" the wounded soldier said
"His arms and legs and body's gone and I can't find his head"
The world is cold and evil there's no place left to hide
Their skins are many colors but all men are dark inside
