Hello my fair weathered friend Been a long time since you've come round Seen a lota faces Visited most places Danced with the devil and lost a few graces In the spaces You've been gone
So you're back, you say for good What you got left to prove In this ol hood All the shouldas and the could Everything you used to boast proud For what you stood
Yeah you seemed anything but small We thought you got most all Then you tossed it most in For a different life you thoughtd be a ball But the final score Has been proven fairly poor
Now you're broke bent and ridged With a hard edge, you're cold and fridged Couldn't keep a dame Couldn't score a lay You've got more nails than you do planks to mend those rotten and worn out bridges
So my fair weathered friend You say you need a place to crash Somewhere to stash that smokey hash Got no prospects or even petty cash You're a mild an irritant rash But it's only I that myself can bash For why do I persist with such incessant trash Why can I never meet my final dash.
