Chompin' at the Bit

lyrics

If I had a car
I'd take use to the beach
When everyone else had gone
And we'd skip rocks on the water

If I had a penny
For every time that I said -
This is what I'd do for you
If I was somehow more than this

I might have the current, see
To bring us nicer things
You might take my hand and sing
La-da-da-da-dee-dah

What I do have, the heart
But that doesn't always do
People fancy brighter things
They do not fancy true

Truth

If I had a sense of humour
I'd laugh it off
I'd take this funny bone
And then I'd throw it to the dogs

And howl
Howl at the sound
Of a pack of wild-dog
Just chompin'

Chompin' at the bit

Would I then have the currency
To buy me those finer things
Like you taking my hand
Singing la-da-da-da-dee-dah?

What I have do have, the heart
But that doesn't always do
People fancy brighter things
They do not fancy true

Truth
