TINNY CAN ON MY TAIL
by
Matt McGinn
I swear I’ve had no whisky, I swear I've drunk no ale
But I turned around and what did I see but a tinny can on my tail?
I don't want that tinny can, tinny can, tinny can on my tail
Won't somebody help me with the tinny can on my tail?
Seven times she married, seven times she failed
Down the aisle she goes again with a tinny can on her tail
I don't want that tinny can, tinny can, tinny can on my tail
Won't somebody help me with the tinny can on my tail?
You'll see them down in Oxford, in Cambridge and in Yale
Running around and trying to catch the tinny can on their tail
I don't want that tinny can, tinny can, tinny can on my tail
Won't somebody help me with the tinny can on my tail?
He spent some out stealing, he spent some time in jail
He's inside once again because of the tinny can on his tail
I don't want that tinny can, tinny can, tinny can on my tail
Won't somebody help me with the tinny can on my tail?
A politician friend of mine set off on a long, long trail
Spent his whole life following the tinny can on his tail
I don't want that tinny can, tinny can, tinny can on my tail
Won't somebody help me with the tinny can on my tail?
I asked some kids to help me, they laughed till they turned pale
Started playing kick-the-can with the tinny can on my tail
I don't want that tinny can, tinny can, tinny can on my tail
Won't somebody help me with the tinny can on my tail?
I don't want that tinny can, tinny can, tinny can on my tail
Won't somebody help me with the tinny can on my tail?
