Here's to you, I sing for my daddy-o
  As I lay him down to sleep
  It's been so long, since I lost my daddy-o
  Hope he's watchin' over me
    Wednesday night is mornin' now
  As I'm walkin' in the rain
  The birds are screaming in my ear
  Drivin' me insane
  Half the clouds are empty
  So the sun burst through the sky
  The puddles show reflection
  Of a face about to die
  Just around the corner, I was goin' round the bend
  I ran into a staggerin' fool
  Who said he knew my name
  He poured himself a whiskey
  And his face began to glow
  Two men without an answer
  Like a dog without a bone
    Bringin' in the new year
  As the bells began to ring
  Fats is in the corner, she's just about to sing
  Time to get another, before the final shout
  You should have heard them roarin'
  When they dragged the bugger out
  And we'll never see the likes of you again
    Jimbo came from slummin' town
  A cold and dreary place
  To summerland he found himself
  The sun shun on his face
  Met a girl called Minnie Pearl
  Swore she'd always be his girl
  Happy ever after, till the tide ran out again
  Pour me all your sorrows
  And I'll drink till you are dry
  I'll love you in the mornin'
  Christ, I'll love ya till you die
  I'll never leave so never grieve
  I'll be back before ya know
  But Jimbo fell into a well
  And never rambled home
    Carried all his troubles in an unforgivin' bag
  Back and forth through painted brick
    The colours all seemed bland
  I've traveled all these years, he said
  To only get this far, so he crossed the street
  Found a seat, his home is now a bar
    And we'll never see the likes of you again
    There must be more to life, than this poxie life
  All the agro, all the pain
  So he disappeared into his final beer
  But the glass was empty, once again, again, again
    Woke up in an awful state
  Dreamt I was at Peter's Gate
  Beggin' for his mercy
  And the crimes that were at hand
    He told me he was much amused
  To see this life I had abused
  Best be on your way, but have a swig before you go
  So I'm bringing in the New Year
  As the bells began to ring
  Fat's in the corner, she's just about to sing
  Time to get another, before the final shout
  You should have heard them roarin'
  When they dragged the bugger out
    And we'll never see the likes of you again
