How To Make Gravy
Hello Dan, its Joe here
I hope youre keeping well
Its the 21st of December
now theyre ringing the last bell
if I get good behaviour
Ill be out of here by July
Wont you kiss my kids on Christmas day
Pleeeease dont let them cry for me
I guess the brothers are driving down from Queensland and Stellas
flyingin from the coast
They say its gonna be a hundred degrees, even more maybe, but that
wont stop the roast
Whos gonna make the gravy now?
I bet it wont taste the same
Just add flour, salt, a little red wine and dont forget a dollop of
tomato sauce for sweetness and that extra tang
And give my love to Angus and to Frank and Dolly,
Tell em all Im sorry I screwed up this time
And look after Rita, Ill be thinking of her early Christmas morning
When Im standing in line
I hear Marys got a new boyfriend, I hope he can hold his own
Do you remember the last one? What was his name again?
Just a little too much cologne
And Roger, you know Im even gonna miss Roger
Cause theres sure as hell no one in here I want to fight
Oh praise the Baby Jesus, have a Merry Christmas,
Im really gonna miss it, all the treasure and the trash
And later in the evening, I can just imagine,
Youll put on Junior Murvin and push the tables back.
And youll dance with Rita, I know you really like her,
Just dont hold her too close, oh brother please dontstab me in the
back.
I didnt mean to say that, its just my mind it plays up,
Multiplies each matter, turns imagination into fact
You know I love her badly, shes the one to save me,
Im gonna make some gravy, Im gonna taste the fat
Tell her that Im sorry, yeah I love her badly, tell em all Im
sorry,
And kiss the sleepy children for me
You know one of these days, Ill be making gravy,
Ill be making plenty, Im gonna pay em all back.
