Fifty Pounds

歌詞

Workin' on the C & O Rail Drivin' them spikes in the ground Big men can bury with a single blow Me, it takes me fifty pounds Forty if I try a little harder Today it takes me fifty pounds Fifty pounds - fifty pounds Sure do like the way that sounds Forty if I try a little harder Today it takes me fifty pounds I'm hummin on the streets of London Had this catchy tune comin' round Saw a guit-box in the window It only cost fifty pounds Probably get it cheaper in Chicago But here, it costs fifty pounds Fifty pounds - fifty pounds Sure do like the way that sounds Probably get it cheaper in Chicago Here, it costs fifty pounds My little boy wanna work the railroad And take my guit-box that he just found I say "Wait til you get a little older You only weigh fifty pounds You can't expect to be a hammer holder When you only weigh fifty pounds." Fifty pounds - fifty pounds He don't like the way that sounds Wait til you get a little older You only weigh fifty pounds I'd be lost in most of Europe They got the Euros and the Kilos there instead of pounds But not in Windsor, Bath & Dover They got their economic tongue And their multi-use for pound They're beamin' with homonymic pride And they drive on the left-hand side Homonym phobe, oh, homonym phobe A punless world would get real old Fifty pounds, you hit, weigh or stole Talkin' bout them fifty pounds Toby was a midget boxer He could go fifteen rounds Champ of the United Kingdom He only makes fifty pounds His head could take fifty pounds He only weighs fifty pounds Fifty pounds - fifty pounds Sure do like the way that sounds There are ups and there are downs But there sure ain't no out-of-bounds Just havin' fun with triplet nouns I'm talkin' 'bout them fifty pounds
