Intro

Verse 1

 It must be hard ringing the bells

 Of doors that don't swing wide anymore

 It must be hard hearing the sound

 Of voices just inside of the door

Chorus 1

 A man who couldn't hold your coat

 Who's hung on every anicdote

 So it must be hard watching the fellows gloat

 Ballantines

Verse 2

 It must be hard seeing the same old crowd

 Just pass you by in the street

 It must be tough knowing your stuff

 Could only horrify the elite

Chorus 2

 You cut off everyone you know

Boy you tell `em all where to go

 Now it must be hard getting the same heave-ho

 Ballantines

Bridge

 Well, patrons at the bar in Lexington Kentucky

 Who sprung for every drink you downed

 With things the way they are it's not that kind of party

 If what you've got might just be good

Solo

(Do do do...)

Chorus 3

 And fuck-ups won't be getting thin

Seeing the kind of jam you're in

 Though the angels dance on the head of another pin

 Ballantines

 Ballantines

 Ballant-i-i-ines

End with:
