Aren't you a skinny kid - Just like his poppa. Where's he working ? - He's not working. Thin as the smile I wear. Cold as the beaches you comb. Till the cows come home. Tell the truth again - Tell the truth again. Near to the knuckle near to the knuckle. Why're you laughing ? - You call that laughing ?. Wearing your death's head grin - Even the fishes are thin. When the boat comes in. Things are better now - Things are better now. We've education. I doff my cap to a life that lets you. Dream a poor man's dream. But he can't have his coffee with cream. Till the cows come home.
