Well the eggs chase the bacon round the fryin’ pan

and there’s always construction work bothering you
Chorus

Friday’s a funeral and Saturday’s a bride

and we don’t get our butter delivererd no more
Chorus
D G D G
Well big Mambo’s kicking his old grey hound

and the kids can’t get ice-cream ’cause the market burned down

and the newspaper sleeping bags blow down the lane
D Bm Em A7
and the goddamn flatbed’s got me pinned in again

and the window is busted and the landlord ain’t home
