Well, One thing when it's raining and the streets are bloody cold
|
You can feel it in your fingers and the faces of the old.
|
And still I can remember and only mainly when I'm told
|
Of life around the corner and the maladies of old.
|
|
The drunken midnight choir that Leonard talked about.
|
Was put beneath my window and the songs evolving out
|
Out the door to join them, "contralto" I will shout
|
We'll stagger till the morning with a whiskey and a stout.
|
|
Cause these are the days, although the church is ringing.
|
We'll make the rounds and pack the crowds and leave the places singing
|
Pass me down (Pass me down)
|
Three pints down
|
We'll start the fights and end the nights in old Vancouver town.
|
|
Singin' through the back streets, the fountains that are chilled.
|
You'll hear us clear to Grandville and the Fraser valey Hills
|
Down along the station tryin' to (????) you'll hear a mighty chorus throught hte alley (??)
|
|
Take me round (Take me round)
|
Through old Vancouver town
|
The darling at the ballroom the petal at the Crown.
|
Take me round (Take me round)
|
Through old Vancouver town
|
The railway, the road the bailiff and the pump.
|
|
Daniel boats of 15 married daughter,
|
of metals in the war and a mean scotch and water.
|
He'll raise up in the morni' with a pillow to his head sayin'
|
What do you need?
|
What do you got?
|
What do you want?
|
I'll take a shot!
|
You got the lot!
|
You lovin' Scot!
|
So, What do you need? What do you got? (repeat three times)
|
1 - 2 - 3 - 4
|
|
Cause these are the days, although the church is ringing.
|
We'll make the rounds and pack the crowds and leave the places singing
|
Pass me down (Pass me down)
|
Three pints down
|
We'll start the fights and end the nights in old Vancouver town.
|
|
We'll start the fights and end the nights in old Vancouver town.
|
|
We'll start the fights and end the nights in old Vancouver town.
