Them - The Story Of Them lyrics
rate meWhen 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
