[Chorus]
COh, there're sober G7men and Cplenty
CAnd drunkards barely twenty
There are Fmen of over Cninety
That have D7never yet kissed a G7girl
But give Cme a G7ramblin' Crover
CFrae Orkney down to Dover
We will Froam the country Cover
And G7together we'll Fface the Cworld
[Verse 1]
CI've roamed through G7all the Cnations
CIn delight of all creations
And enFjoyed a wee Csensation
Where the D7company, it was G7kind
And when Cpartin' G7was no Cpleasure
CI've drunk another measure
To the Fgood friends that we Ctreasure
For they G7always are Fin our Cmind
[Chorus]
COh, there're sober G7men and Cplenty
CAnd drunkards barely twenty
There are Fmen of over Cninety
That have D7never yet kissed a G7girl
But give Cme a G7ramblin' Crover
CFrae Orkney down to Dover
We will Froam the country Cover
    G7             F        C
[Verse 2]
CThere's many that fG7eign enjCoyment
CFrom merciless employment
Their ambiFtion was thiCs deployment
From the mD7inute they left the G7school
And they Csave and G7scrape and Cponder
CWhile the rest go out and squander
See the Fworld and rove and Cwander
And are G7happier Fas a Crule
[Chorus]
COh, there're sober G7men and Cplenty
CAnd drunkards barely twenty
There are Fmen of over Cninety
That have D7never yet kissed a G7girl
But give Cme a G7ramblin' Crover
CFrae Orkney down to Dover
We will Froam the country Cover
    G7             F        C
[Verse 3]
CIf you're bent wi' G7arthiritCis
CYour bowels have got Colitis
You've Fgallopin' bollockCitis
And you're D7thinkin' it's time you G7died
CIf you been a man o' action
Though you're Flying there in Ctraction
You will Fget some satisCfaction
Thinkin', "G7Jesus, at Fleast CI tried."
[Chorus]
COh, there're sober G7men and Cplenty
CAnd drunkards barely twenty
There are Fmen of over Cninety
That have D7never yet kissed a G7girl
But give Cme a G7ramblin' Crover
CFrae Orkney down to Dover
We will Froam the country Cover
And G7together we'll Fface the Cworld
