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:
