There's a fly in the window

My bills and demands I keep too

Well I can't help thinking

About the times

Drunk all the time

Feeling fine on elderberry wine

Those were the days

We'd lay in the haze

Forget depressive times

How can I ever get it together
Eb Bb Eb Bb Eb Bb
Without a wife in line

To pick the crop and get me hot

Passed on from hand to hand
