Everything by the gallon 
Nothing at all half-way 
He said to me -I guess it's the only way 
Only way 

And when I meet my dying day 
I won't be watching the clock 
Cause I've heaved, I've wept, I've overslept 
And squeezed out - 
Every drop 
Of you dear lips 

And it's out there 
There'll be songs to sing 
Lengths to go to 
And this is just the beginning 
I am on my feet 
I'll be dancing slow 

Piano interlude 

And if my fine attention is turned 
Away from the task at hand 
Drink up, drink up 
If you call yourself a man 
Oh, a man 

And when I'm meet my dying day 
I won't be watching the clock 
Cause I've heaved, I've wept, I've overslept 
I've squeezed out 
Every drop 
Of you dear lips 

Yes it's out there 
There'll be songs, songs to sing 
Lengths to go to 
And this is just the beginning 
I am on my feet 
I'll be dancing slow 

Wailing and piano
