Hadaway

[Verse 1]

Ah, you've got to be joking, you're taking the piss

I'd have to be stupid to go on with this

I wasn't born yesterday, or even last week

It's someone with sailing experience you seek?

I wouldn't sail with you on the last ship aground

In a biblical flood, I'd be better off drowned

So drink up your bevies and have a good sup

I'll be no part of this fancy O'Brian's dreamed up

Find some other idiot to pilot your craft

And tomorrow you'll be sober

[Chorus]

Had away, had away, had away, with you all

You know you've got nothing, you've got nothing at all

Had away, you're just pissing your beer up the wall

And you're out of your tiny minds

[Verse 2]

I had a friend on the ships his name was Joe Dorsey

He'd get into port he'd be straight to the horsies

He begged and he pleaded, he was some operator

600 to one, and he'd pay me back later

He claimed it was certain that we'd be in clover

And the next time we sailed past the White Cliffs of Dover

We'd be sailing a yacht of our own to the Med

I lent him the money, I was out of me head

I didn't see hide of him for nine months, maybe ten

And didn't the bastard just ask me again?

For the loan of a tenner he'd pay me back soon

All the money he owed me, I answered the loon

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]

I once had a girl down in Tenerife

A passionate courtship albeit brief

But what happened next, it just beggared belief

If I tell you, you'll be sober

The second night in she claims she's with child

Before yesterday night she'd been pure, undefiled

I must be the father, court papers she'd filed

So what did I tell her my rovers?

[Chorus]
