You can feel it in your fingers and the faces of the old.
And still I can remember and only mainly when I'm told
Of life around the corner and the maladies of old.
The drunken midnight choir that Leonard talked about.
Was put beneath my window and the songs evolving out
Out the door to join them, "contralto" I will shout
We'll stagger till the morning with a whiskey and a stout.
Cause these are the days, although the church is ringing.
We'll make the rounds and pack the crowds and leave the places singing
Pass me down (Pass me down)
Three pints down
We'll start the fights and end the nights in old Vancouver town.
Singin' through the back streets, the fountains that are chilled.
You'll hear us clear to Grandville and the Fraser valey Hills
Down along the station tryin' to (????) you'll hear a mighty chorus throught hte alley (??)
Take me round (Take me round)
Through old Vancouver town
The darling at the ballroom the petal at the Crown.
Take me round (Take me round)
Through old Vancouver town
The railway, the road the bailiff and the pump.
Daniel boats of 15 married daughter,
of metals in the war and a mean scotch and water.
He'll raise up in the morni' with a pillow to his head sayin'
What do you need?
What do you got?
What do you want?
I'll take a shot!
You got the lot!
You lovin' Scot!
So, What do you need? What do you got? (repeat three times)
1 - 2 - 3 - 4
Cause these are the days, although the church is ringing.
We'll make the rounds and pack the crowds and leave the places singing
Pass me down (Pass me down)
Three pints down
We'll start the fights and end the nights in old Vancouver town.
We'll start the fights and end the nights in old Vancouver town.
We'll start the fights and end the nights in old Vancouver town.
