night's fun

                 G            
        Then the foreman says, 
    D       G
"C'mon now boys
                    G

stayed home last night
                   Em

        And I mix cement by the ton
                Em                 
        With me tongue hangin' out 
      D         Bm
for a bottle of stout
                  C            
        Sweatin' bullets in the 
 Am       Em
Brooklyn sun

        G

                G                  
        Did she mean what she said

                Em             Am 
        And the things that he 
        Em
said last night
               Em                
        Did he mean 'em at all or 
        D          Bm
was it just drink talk
              Bm          Am      
        Oh, I must look a terrible

             G         Bm      Am
        Rise high over Fordham
