We cut all his eyes we did, squeezed the lids and down the grog into hole he
skip with crow eyed smile to the blissful into craggy dress and we will
praise him we will praise him off his pins, clear him of all sins
Oh my! We sang with strength to carry on, encouraged him to sing along, we
sang of all the world and praised him hooray!
Stay alive to live or without, and he is down, all over and out
(Then repeat the intro once instead of twice, then into the 2nd verse, chords as
put the chords down too though because there are so many I can never remember them)
Watch us bang on shoulders as tall and as gold as
Feely hand and finger around all we
And look to see if we care if he is heaven sent or Hell bent but
We will praise him we will praise him all away praise him all a - way
My arms chancing and you will no way live long enough to repay me
I praise you anyway always
(Then into the really long bit. It's the same chord progression over and over, but each
moving up in semitones)
Wipes last with brown and pale, he dirty boy he gone all stale
And down the stair and hallway crawling, and pig and toast and kitchen
brawling
Night-time days are all weekless, alarm charm he's all up and dressed
He dirty boy, he bathroom dances, and check his jam and breathe on glass
Spiny brings all, off "Mr. Regal Jelly" in hand, warm feel and suck re - gal
man suck bland, suck bland a - way and he a sleepy cow-eyed dog he treading
soft sand Kiss and stroke and praise him, stroke
and praise him All worth is kiss not how to cleanse and
fowl, preserver of sick somehow, don't worry now
Hold his mouth and stop him breathing over and out
(The outro plays those final three chords over and over, the time signature changes,
just a case of playing it over and over and a pattern starts emerging)
Such an epic tune, hope you enjoy it.
