Buyin' out any shop around

Anything you can get your hands on

Feedin' the relatives with all their lies and their welcome

directly descended from a saint

So fill it with cheer and satisfy all the cravings

Most of that cheer comes from a bottle

Now I sat on a street I asked him first then I meet
C F
Who's birthday you think it is today
Bb F Bb F Bb F
He stopped dead, scratched his head and puzzled then he said
N.C.
I'm not sure I think it's one of our presidents
N.C.
Ain't it
