And he swore that he'll never never do it again

And of course he won't not until the next time...

Poor old man, he had an accident with a three-bar fire

But that's okay, because he wasn't very happy anyway

A poor woman, strangled in her very own bed as she read

             Am                 Bb
But that's okay, 'cause she was old

And she would have died anyway

Never, never do it again, not until the next time
