Once Again

Well the mister and his lady sittin’ home one Friday night
Were yakkin’ ‘bout the fact that they’d been havin too many fights
And then the mister tells his lady
Hey lady you know the fault must be with you!
Well: Hey says his baby: Just who do ya think you’re talkin to?
And like every other time they argued like a couple of fools

Well about this time his lady started complainin’ ’bout the rent
The mister hadn’t paid it and he didn’t have a cent
Because the boys down at the pool hall had made him spend it like a fool
Well he cried: Now what about the money that you blew
That I gave you for the kids to go to school?
And sure enough, like every other time, they bickered like a couple of fools

Well the evenin’ changed to mornin’ and the mornin’ changed to day
And the day turned into night and then the night faded away
And on and on they fought in every silly little way
Until they had to rest their forces for an hour and a day!

Hey lady! He cried after a while
You know it’s been a hundred years, well, since I’ve seen you smile!
Well now, what do you mean by that crack?! She cried
And he saw he’d made a boo-boo
You know you really think that I am blind, but just remember I’m on to you!
And they had started once again before they knew it
But that was nothing new

Well the years had gone, the times had changed
The couple had passed away
They’d walked along the path of life
But argued all the way
And they thought when life was over
All the people just go away
But then in front of the pearly gates
They stared into each other’s face!

Hey! Cried the lady, It’s so nice to see you here
I didn’t think you’d make it and I’m amazed that you appeared!
He said: Now what do you mean by that crack?
And she saw she’d made a boo-boo
You know you really thought that I was blind
But just remember I’m on to you!
And you know what happened then
(Yeah you guessed it)
Well they started once again (oh, yeah)
And they’ll be fightin’ till the end of time
Fightin till the end of time
(Oh they go on and on and on and onIt’s such a damn shame)
