[ Предположительная тональность: D ] D Chorus: Oh, there are sober men and plenty, And drunkards barely twenty, G D There are men of over ninety, Em G Who have never yet kissed a girl. D But give me a rambling rover, Then cart me down to Dover, G D We'll rove the country over, Em A D And together we'll face the world. D 1st Verse: Oh, they roamed through all the nations Taken delight in all creation G D And I've tried a wee sensation, Em G When the company did prove kind. D Then when parting was no pleasure I drank another measure G D To the good friends that we treasure Em A D For they'll always be on my mind. Chorus D 2nd Verse: There are those who feign enjoyment From merciless employment G D Their mission was deployment Em G From the minute they left the school D And they save, scrape and plunder While the rest go out and squander G D See the world and rove and wander Em A D And they're happier as a fool. Chorus D 3rd Verse: If you're bent with arthritis Your bowels have got colitis G D You've a galloping bollockitis Em G And your thinking it's time you'd died D If you've been a man of action You're lying there in traction G D You can gain some satisfaction Em A D Thinkin' "Golly, at least I tried".
