Arent you a skinny kid just like his poppa Wheres he working ? hes 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 Whyre you laughing ? you call that laughing ? Wearing your deaths head grin even the fishes are thin When the boat comes in Things are better now things are better now Weve education I doff my cap to a life that lets you Dream a poor mans dream But he cant have his coffee with cream Till the cows come home
knuckle, cow, thin, doff, laughing
