How to Make Gravy

Hello Dan

It's Joe here

I hope you're keeping well

It's the 21st of December

And now they're ringing the last bells

If I get good behavior

I'll be out of here by July

Won't you kiss my kids on Christmas Day

Please don't let 'em cry for me

I guess the brothers are driving down from Queensland

Stella's flying in from the coast

They say it's gonna be a hundred degrees

Even more maybe

But that won't stop the roast

Who's gonna make the gravy now?

I bet it won't taste the same

Just add flour, salt, a little red wine

Don't forget a dollop of tomato sauce

For sweetness

And an extra tang

Give my love to Angus

And to Frank and Dolly

Tell 'em all I'm sorry

I screwed up this time

And look after Rita

I'll be thinking of her

Early Christmas morning

When I'm standing in line

I hear Mary's for a new boyfriend

Well I hope he can hold his own

Do you remember the last one?

What was his name again?

What was his problem?

He never did get Nina Simone

Now Roger

Well I'm even gonna miss Roger

'Cause there's sure as hell no one in here I want to fight

I pray to baby Jesus

Have a Merry Christmas

I'm really gonna miss it

All the treasure and the trash

Later in the evening

I can just imagine

You'll put on Junior Murvin

And push the tables back

And you'll dance with Rita

I know you really like her

Just don't hold her too close, oh brother

Please don't stab me in the back

I didn't mean to say that

It's just my mind it plays up

Multiplies each matter

Turns imagination into fact

You know I love her badly

She's the one to save me

I'm gonna make some gravy

I'm gonna taste the fat

Tell her that I'm sorry

Yeah, I love her badly

Tell 'em all I'm sorry

Kiss the sleepy children for me

You know one of these days

I'll be making gravy

I'll be making plenty

I'll pay 'em all back

I'll pay 'em all, pay 'em all

Pay 'em all, pay 'em all, pay 'em all

Pay 'em all, pay 'em all back

I'll be making gravy

Gravy

I'll pay 'em all back
