In stead of the usual "we'll be all right if..." or "...wouldn't do us any harm" verses, her verses told a story. I meant to catch up with her and ask about the song, but the moment slipped away. Anybody familiar with the version I'm talking of? Can you post the lyrics? Thanks. -Joe- |

He took this "Hangover" poem and arranged it with the Roll the Old Chariot sea shanty chorus. I don't have the poem to hand, sorry. |
