Boning Halls

Boning halls, we're talking boning halls

Boning halls, talking 'bout boning halls

Rich cowmen ride around the boning hall

Weighing up every chop that comes across the trimming board

Like kings around the cattle mart, smooth and razor sharp

Scrawny auld scrag-end tenderized by stampin' in the

Boning halls

Boning halls

Where the carcass is stripped down to the bone

All the flesh gets ripped off a country

Bone meal, Angel Dust

T-bone steak, hormones and nitrogen

And sweet gravy

When the beef is on the block

The knife is on the stone

We've just been told the bung

Was underneath the counter of the

Boning hall

Boning hall

Where the carcass is stripped down to the bone

All the flesh gets ripped off a country

When the beef is over

We'll be back in order

Our cleavers well sharpened

We'll be ready for the slaughter in the

Boning hall

Boning hall

Where the carcass is stripped down to the bone

All the flesh gets ripped off a country

Boning halls, we're talking boning halls

Boning halls, talking 'bout boning halls
