All of It

Lyrics

Oh dear what's the problem
 they're rowin' and squabblin'
 there seems to be somethin' awry
 For the last 14 nights
 they've been havin' a fight
 and we can always hear the same cry
 Give me all of it, all of it
 not just a bit of it
 none of your quarters, your thirds or your halves
 The long and the tall
 and the rise and the fall
 of it all of it all of it all.
 The priest at the alter
 was noticed to falter
 he seemed to be weak at the knee
 as a deacon poured out
 the red wine from his cup
 we could make out
 his virtuous plea
 Give me all of it, all of it
 not just a bit of it
 none of your quarters, your thirds or your halves
 The long and the tall
 and the rise and the fall
 of it all of it all of it all.
 the fiddler was playin'
 below in the kitchen
 in the sweet after-hours
 that are best
 when he left out the piece
 and to turn out the
 and the dancers
 all stopped to request
 Give me all of it, all of it
 not just a bit of it
 none of your quarters, your thirds or your halves
 The long and the tall
 and the rise and the fall
 of it all of it all of it all.
 Now the barman was fillin'
 and waitin' and spillin'
 as the drinkers discussed this and that
 with his thumb in the measure
 he rose in displeasure
 and he brought this response from one man
 Give me all of it, all of it
 not just a bit of it
 none of your quarters, your thirds or your halves
 The long and the tall
 and the rise and the fall
 of it all of it all of it all.
 O I have not the gumption or the
 to finish the song
 with a verse that succeeds
 but I trust you can taste
 and I know you won't waste
 yours and my precious time
 if you scream
 Give me all of it, all of it
 not just a bit of it
 none of your quarters, your thirds or your halves
 The long and the tall
 the rise and the fall
 of it all of it all of it all.
 Give me all of it, all of it
 not just a bit of it
 none of your quarters, your thirds or your halves
 The long and the tall
 the rise and the fall
 of it all of it all of it all.
