My friend Harvey married Tracey McColl | |
by Christ, she was a scary ol' doll | |
A voice out of hell and with a temper to boot | |
Arms like a navvy and a face like dried fruit | |
I bumped into Harvey back home last year | |
Says I to him, "Do you want to go for a beer?" | |
"No! Me sister’s French husband is over," says he | |
"I’ve been sent to get snails to impress him for tea." | |
"I was down in the snail shop she told me to go | |
I’m a little bit late because the business was slow... | |
If I’m not home by six, I’ll surely be done | |
The missus will kill me, Let’s just go for the one!" | |
the one, the one, don't go for the one. | |
Don't go for the one, for the one, for the one | |
the one, the one, don't go for the one. | |
Don't go for the one, for the one, for the one | |
For the one went down fast the second did too | |
Three of four followed 't was a fine how do you do! | |
Harvey looked at his watch and shrieked out with fright | |
It was twenty past ten, we’d been drinking all night! | |
Well cursing my name, he sped cross the floor | |
Clutching the snails he ran out the door | |
"I’m a dead man!" he said "I’m drunk and I’m late!" | |
As he tore down the road and up to his gate | |
the one, the one, don't go for the one. | |
Don't go for the one, for the one, for the one | |
the one, the one, don't go for the one. | |
Don't go for the one, for the one, for the one | |
Well he opened the gate and he ran down the path | |
for he knew he was in for the dragon’s wrath | |
But he tripped and he fell and up in the air | |
went the bag and with the snails flying everywhere | |
Hearing the noise she kicked open the door | |
Snails and Harvey were spread cross the floor | |
“You’re three hours late!!” she screamed, as loud as she could | |
“What’s your excuse? This had better be good!” | |
Well he looks down at the snails and with a confident air | |
He says “Five more feet lads, we’re nearly there.” | |
the one, the one, don't go for the one. | |
Don't go for the one, for the one, for the one | |
the one, the one, don't go for the one. | |
Don't go for the one, for the one, for the one |
