When the night is cold and the hours are long, I think about good times now long since gone, But no memory pleases me more to recall, Than the night that dear Willy came out on a crawl
He was 18 for a few hours more, I fed him some whisky as he walked through my door The sounds of a house-party rolled down the street So we pounded our Pilsner and leapt to our feet.
Oh he had his filling Tequila swilling Oh he put out the flames And it earned him the name Fire marshal Willy
Oh we led him away to the depths of the house With Jose Cuervo and old famous grouse He took 15 shots in the blink of an eye Fell under the porch by the bbq side
And they told him just sit down instead Do touch that extinguisher shiny and red But William was drunk as I'd ere seen a man And so the insanity surely began
Oh he had his filling Tequila swilling Oh he put out the flames And it earned him the name Fire marshal Willy
10 minutes later he flashed me a smile There wasn't combustion within 20 miles He'd hosed every chap in the whole fucking place And threw his cold water right in Justine's face
When the night is cold and the hours are long, I think about good times now long since gone, But no memory gives me more pleasure then Than the night that dear Willy became a new man
Oh he had his filling Tequila swilling Oh he put out the flames And it earned him the name Fire marshal Willy
Oh he had his filling Tequila swilling Oh he put out the flames And it earned him the name
