'Til The Cows Come Home lyrics

Aren't you a skinny kid - Just like his poppa Where's he working ? - He's 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 Why're you laughing ? - You call that laughing ? Wearing your death's head grin - Even the fishes are thin When the boat comes in Things are better now - Things are better now We've education I doff my cap to a life that lets you Dream a poor man's dream But he can't have his coffee with cream Till the cows come home
