Mr. Henry

(previously unreleased)

Mr. Henry stumbles home

When the evening's done

He's as poor as a church mouse

High on the Meyer's rum

Tugging at his shirttail

Jiggling a church key

Chewing on a toothpick

On another binge

Trampling the rosebush

Whistin' to himself...

Now don't wake up the neighbours

Spitting on the hinge

Rattling the milkbottles

Tripping on a skate

Hidin' from the Newsboys

Before it's too late

The Screen door's open

Don't make no noise in the Kitchen

Got no excuse

For a cold, grey wife that starts bitchin'

That the no good bum's at it again

After she's given him

The best years of her life

He'll tell her he was celebrating

Savage's divorce

Played a hunch out at Yonkers

You can never trust a horse

And thrown in jail

Swore he'd never do these things again

He's got an alibi

But never tells her where he's been

"Henry! Henry!"
