What's to keep me from dancing all the time, all the time
But this heavy wooden leg of mine, leg of mine
A pirate's life ain't easy,
and every night I drink this red, red wine
All the time
How come I can't fly? asked the porcupine, been up all night
Cause my love's livin in the sky, she's a magpie
And here I am a pile of spines and I'd
Hibernate If I could get her off my mind
Off my mind
Oh, let's pretend that I'm not on the end
Of a hidden fishing line
How was I to know when I saw
The hooks falling from the sky
All the time
Oh, poor, poor me
My life's a string of tragedies
And everything I wish could be
Just can't, you see
Oh, come on
And play that sad, sad song
You know I'd dance along
But I'm too far gone, oh
What's this luck of mine, said the no-longer-monied swine
I never had to watch a dime, the mud is cold tonight
How's a pig to deal and why do
troubles make you squeal so hard the first time
Lemme cry, lemme cry
Oh, woe is me, there ain't no sympathy
For a weeping willow, sing a sad song for me
I only hang my branches low for my crimes
But even a Bad tree's got to wet his eyes sometimes
All the time
