The Great Lyrics Thread Part II

[Jack the Ripper]

We fell into prison
At about quarter to three
Where I found in my cell a glass waiting for me
So I filled what was empty and pulled up a stool
But he stood in the corner
The Old Devil wouldn't move
He said you drink when you're lonely
No I drink when I want
He said you'll never be sober
Sure why would I want that
I drink to be merry
But unfortunately.......
I'm in the wrong prison cell
And the wrong company

The Wrong Company by Flogging Molly off their last album Within a Mile of Home

(written here from my memory, I might have missed a word or two)

[jackstraw]

I've got a rabbit, it likes to hop
I've got a girl and she likes to shop
The other foot looks like it won't drop
I had an uncle and he got shot

Is this greeting the type that's meant for me?
Are you part of this kakistocracy?

This ringing in my ears won't stop
I've got a red Japanese tea-pot
I've got a pen but I lost the top
I've got so many things you haven't got

This fellow's craft is just not for sharing
He's not an intimate secretary!

I've got a rabbit it likes to hop
I've got a girl and she likes to shop
The other foot looks like it won't drop
I had an uncle but he got shot

Then on rubble of scummest malarchy
Down with luck we'll see Ecclesiarchy
Our fellow's craft is just not for sharing
He's not an intimate secretary!

The Ex-? Inspector Inquisitor
The Demockery lust streets master
Are you part of this kakistocracy?
Is this greeting the type that's meant for me?
