Karaoké How to Make Gravy Paul Kelly

Hello Dan it's Joe here

I hope you're keeping well

It's the twenty first of December

And now they're ringing the last bell

If I get good behaviour

I'll be out of here by July

Won't you kiss my kids on Christmas day?

Please don't let them cry for me

I guess the brothers are driving down from Queensland

And Stella's flying in from the coast

They say it's gonna be a hundred degrees

Even more maybe but that won't stop the roast

Who's gonna make the gravy now?

I bet it won't taste the same

Just add flour salt a little red wine

And don't forget a dollop of tomato sauce

For sweetness and that extra tang

And give my love to Angus and to Frank and Dolly

Tell 'em all I'm sorry

I screwed up this time

And look after Rita

I'll be thinking of her

Early Christmas morning when I'm standing in line

I hear Mary's got a new boyfriend

I hope he can hold his own

Do you remember the last one? what was his name again?

Ah just a little too much cologne

And Roger you know

I'm even gonna miss Roger

'Cos there's sure as hell no one in here I want to fight

Oh praise the baby Jesus have a Merry Christmas

I'm really gonna miss it all the treasure and the trash

And later in the evening

I can just imagine

You'll put on Junior Murvin and push the tables back

And you'll dance with Rita

I know you really like her just don't hold her too close

Oh brother please don't stab me in the back

I didn't mean to say that it's just my mind it plays up

Multiplies each matter turns imagination into fact

You know I love her badly she's the one to save me

I'm gonna make some gravy

I'm gonna taste the fat

And tell her that I'm sorry yeah I love her badly

Tell 'em all I'm sorry and kiss the sleepy children for me

You know one of these days

I'll be making gravy

I'll be making plenty

I'm gonna pay 'em all back

Yeah do do do do do do

Do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do
