Them - The Story Of Them lyrics

rate me

When friends were friends<br />

And company was right<br />

We'd drink and talk and sing<br />

All through the night<br />

<br />

Morning came leisurely and bright<br />

Downtown we'd walk<br />

And passers by, would shudder with delight<br />

Mmmmmm! Good times<br />

<br />

And there was this man<br />

All the cats were there<br />

Just dirty enough to say, "We don't care"<br />

But, the management have had complaints<br />

About some cats with long, long hair<br />

"Look, look, look"<br />

And the people'd stare<br />

"Why, you won't be allowed in<br />

anywhere!"<br />

Barred from pubs, clubs and<br />

dancin' halls<br />

Made the scene at the Spanish rooms<br />

on the falls<br />

And man, four pints of that scrumpy was<br />

enough to have you, outta your mind<br />

Climbin', climbin' up the walls<br />

Out of your mind<br />

But it was a gas, all the same<br />

Ummm! Good time!<br />

<br />

Now just 'round about this time<br />

With the help of the three J's<br />

Started playin' at the Maritime<br />

That's, Jerry, Jerry and Jimmy<br />

<br />

You know they were always fine<br />

And they helped us run the Maritime<br />

Don't forget Kit, hittin' people on the head<br />

An' knockin' 'em out<br />

You know he did his best and all<br />

Was something else, then<br />

Ummm, Lord, good times<br />

<br />

And people say<br />

Who are or what are, Them?<br />

That little one sings<br />

And that big one plays the guitar<br />

With a thimble on his finger<br />

Runs it up and down the strings<br />

<br />

The bass player don't shave much<br />

I think they're all a little bit, touched<br />

But the people came<br />

And that's how we made our name<br />

Too much it was<br />

Umm, yeah, our good times<br />

<br />

Wild, sweaty, crude, ugly and, and mad<br />

And sometimes just, a little bit sad<br />

Yeah, they sneered an' all<br />

But up there, we just havin' a ball<br />

It was a gas, you know<br />

Lord, some good times<br />

<br />

It was kinda bad for, Them<br />

We are, Them, take it or leave it<br />

Do you know they took it, and it kept comin'<br />

And we worked for the people<br />

Sweet, sweat and the misty, misty atmosphere<br />

<br />

Gimme another drink of beer, baby<br />

Gotta get goin' here<br />

Because, it was a gas<br />

We all had good times<br />

<br />

Blues come rollin'<br />

Down to all your avenue<br />

Won't stop at the city hall<br />

Just a few steps away<br />

You can look up at, Maritime Hotel<br />

Just a little bit sad, gotta walk away<br />

Wish it well
