Mr. henry stumbles home 
When the evening's done 
He's as poor as a church mouse 
High on the meyer's rum 
Tugging at his shirttail 
Jiggling a church key 
Chewing on a toothpick 
On another binge 
Trampling the rosebush 
Whistin' to himself... 
Now don't wake up the neighbours 
Spitting on the hinge 
Rattling the milkbottles 
Tripping on a skate 
Hidin' from the newsboys 
Before it's too late 
The screen door's open 
Don't make no noise in the kitchen 
Got no excuse 
For a cold, grey wife that starts bitchin' 
That the no good bum's at it again 
After she's given him 
The best years of her life 
He'll tell her he was celebrating 
Savage's divorce 
Played a hunch out at yonkers 
You can never trust a horse 
And thrown in jail 
Swore he'd never do these things again 
He's got an alibi 
But never tells her where he's been 
 
"henry! henry!"
