Mr. Henry stumbles home |
|
When the evening's done |
|
He's as poor as a church mouse |
|
High on the Meyer's rum |
|
Tugging at his shirttail |
|
Jiggling a church key |
|
Chewing on a toothpick |
|
On another binge |
|
Trampling the rosebush |
|
Whistin' to himself... |
|
Now don't wake up the neighbours |
|
Spitting on the hinge |
|
Rattling the milkbottles |
|
Tripping on a skate |
|
Hidin' from the Newsboys |
|
Before it's too late |
|
The Screen door's open |
|
Don't make no noise in the Kitchen |
|
Got no excuse |
|
For a cold, grey wife that starts bitchin' |
|
That the no good bum's at it again |
|
After she's given him |
|
The best years of her life |
|
He'll tell her he was celebrating |
|
Savage's divorce |
|
Played a hunch out at Yonkers |
|
You can never trust a horse |
|
And thrown in jail |
|
Swore he'd never do these things again |
|
He's got an alibi |
|
But never tells her where he's been |
|
|
|
"Henry! Henry!" |
