To Feveryone who cannot hold a Gpen
To Fall you heavy rounders with a Gheadache for your pains
Who Fdread the thought of going 'round the Gbend
[CHORUS:]
CBless you all and keep you on the Froad to better things
BbHeaven can be yours, just for Gnow

To Fall the lovely Cladies in their Gfinery tonight
I Fwish that I could kiss you while you Gknit
To Fall the ones who Clearn to live with Gbeing second-guessed

BbHeaven can be yours, just for Gnow

To Fall the lonely sailors who have Gtrouble being seen
To Fall of you with heartache that reGmains

If Fsomeone could relieve you of your Gchains
