They're barring the doors at the back of the hall

It's cold in the winter, some freeze in the fall

The banquet's the supper that's set for the swine

You're the last to arrive, you're the first one to leave
           C#			       B         F#

Well a dime in the phone is the best way I know

The truck picks you up on your front porch at night

We're just trying to make you see some sort of light

There's ten pounds of oxen were skewered on spit
