Going Out In Style

  P1:
  I've seen a lot of sights and traveled many miles 

  Shook a thousand hands and seen my share of smiles 

  I've caused some great concern and told one too many lies 

  And now I see the world through these sad, old, jaded eyes

  S1:
  So what if I threw a party and all my friends were there? 

  Acquaintances, relatives, the girls who never cared 

  You'll have a host of rowdy hooligans in a big line out the door 

  Side by side with sister barbara, Chief Wells and Bobby Orr 

  I'd invite the Flannigans, replace the window you smashed out 

  I'd apologize to sluggo for pissing on his couch 

  I'll see Mrs. McAuliffe and so many others soon 

  Then I'll say I'm sorry for what I did sleepwalking in her room

  S2:
  So what if I threw a party and invited Mayor Menino? 

  He'd tell you to get a permit, well this time, Tom, I don't think so 

  It's a neighborhood reunion but now we'd get along 

  Van Morrison would be there and he'd sang me one last song 

  With a backup band of bass players to keep us up all night 

  Three handsome four string troubadours and Newton's own Fat Mike 

  I'll be in the can having a smoke with Garv and Johnny Fitz 

  But there's a backup in the bathroom 

  Cause The Badger's got the shits x---x---x---x x---x-

  R1:
  You may bury me with an enemy in Mount Calvary 

  You can stack me on a pyre and soak me down with whiskey  

  Roast me to a blackened crisp and throw me in a pile 

  I couldn't really give a shit; I'm going out in style 

  You can take my urn to Fenway spread my ashes all about  

  Or you can bring me down to Wolly Beach and dump the sucker out  

  Burn me to a rotten crisp and toast me for a while 

  I couldn't really give a shit; I'm going out in style

  S3:
  Make me up dress me up, feed me a big old shot 

  Of embalming fluid highballs so I don't start to rot 

  Now take me to McGreevy's, I wanna buy one final round 

  That cheap prick would peel an orange in his pocket 

  Then hurry up and suck 'em down

  B1:
  If there's a God the girls you loved 

  Will all come walking through the door 

  Maybe they'll feel bad for me and this stiff will finally score 

  You've got the bed already and nerve and courage too, cause I've been 

  Slugging from a stash of Desi Queally's 1980s bathtub brew
