Every time, Every God damn time Harpo the drunken fool, he's a mess I gotta confess, Harpo the drunken fool He grew up with Franklin poor up on the hill served under Macarthur and learned how to kill comes home to recession yeah boy there's no work, camps out at Connor's the new pissed off jerk
Broken face, he is a disgrace Harpo the drunken fool, thrown out of the hold, right back into the cold, Harpo the drunken fool Well the shine of a young man has worn off of him, lost a trade to the whiskey no more knocking gin Leave me alone, I'm doing just fine I'm sleeping it off down at station nine
Why do you all care so much, do you really think I'm out to lunch, I gave up on life so long ago because every yes I hoped for turned out a big no SO to hell with this city and being legit, forget all blue bastards, colour me quit, get my bottle, my coat, toss me my cap, I'm leaving Boston and not looking back
Will we sing tales about him every once in awhile Hope he won't crash dwon on Malibou mile How will he change? Nobody knows but for the Grace of God I know red lights arrive, frozen they find Harpo the drunken fool
