that wasn´t worried
bout his condition
he wasn´t married
till one day he met a woman
that he liked from head to toe
so then he stopped aal
all of the drinking

but the he bothered
arroun' in town
visiting the bar beer
well she loved him
but she dropped him
lo(oo oh oo oh oo oh)nely
christmas brother
lo oo oh oo oh oh oo oh
now that i´m sober
she dont want me back
now that it´s over
she dont give a crap
well the fat man
he bought a batman
for his little nephew
but hi didn´t like it
he shouted
drop in the crop
on a little pot town
a little shot
and a little fot town
so then the fat man
he got exited
he started shouting
through the walkie talkie
arroun' in town
well then he got fired
cause he was smelling up the taxi
lo(oo oh oo oh...
