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
I hang fire
Hang fire
Put it on the wire
Hang fire
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
Hang fire
Hang fire
Hang fire
Put it on the wire
Yeah, take a thousand dollars
Go have some fun
Put it all on
At a hundred to one
Hang fire
Hang fire
Hang fire
Put it on the wire
Hang fire
Hang fire
Put it on the wire
Hang fire
Hang fire
