In the sweet old country where I come from
Nobody ever works
Yeah nothing gets done
We hang fire, we hang fire
You know marrying money is a full time job

I don´t need the aggravation
I´m a lazy slob
I hang fire, I hang fire
Hang fire, put it on the wire
We´ve got nothing to eat
We got nowhere to work
Nothing to drink
We just lost our shirts
I´m on the dole
We ain´t for hire
Say what the hell
Say what the hell, hang fire
Hang fire, hang fire, put it on the wire
Doo doo doo
Take a thousand dollars go have some fun
Put it all on at a hundred to one
Hang fire, hang fire, put it on the wire
