Hard Hard Times (Nfld. Trad. music)

Come all ye good people I'll sing you a song
Of husbands and wives and how they get along
To keep them from wanering that is our main goal
So we make 'em happy before they get cold
so it's hard hard times

A we start to age as we get on in years
rely more on foreplay and niblin ears
Just an old sea dog no longer a pup
It takes a bit longer but we still get it up
and its hard hard times

The doctor the doctor is tryin to please
To lift up the mainmast with uncommon ease
he writes a prescription for little blue pills
We have a coniption when we see the bill
and its hard hard times

But it takes cloes to and hour and something ain't right
We're missing the hockey on Saturday night
On Saturday night but try as we might
We gotta stay with the missus or they'll be a fight
and its hard hard times

Go back to the doctor, "what else have you got?"
This stuff is real potent but rapid its not"
Take home some of this stuff sniff it right up your nose
You'll be ready for action before you can get off your clothes
and its hard hard times

Now things are happy things are as they should
The wife says she's happy, she's knocking on wood
She's knockin on wood, and we are like kids
We're doin' our business between periods
And she likes hard times.

The original words of this is on the DT but the music doesn't sound right.
