In the sweet old country where I come from Nobody ever works Yeah nothing gets done We hang fire, we hang fire
You know marrying money is a full time job I don't need the aggravation I'm a lazy slob I hang fire, I hang fire Hang fire, put it on the wire
We've got nothing to eat We got nowhere to work Nothing to drink We just lost our shirts I'm on the dole We ain't for hire Say what the hell Say what the hell, hang fire Hang fire, hang fire, put it on the wire Doo doo doo
Take a thousand dollars go have some fun Put it all on at a hundred to one Hang fire, hang fire, put it on the wire
