Lyrics
[Verse 1]
My friend Harvey married Tracey McCall
By Christ she was a scary old doll
A voice out of Hell and a temper to boot
Arms like a Navy and a face like dried fruit
[Verse 2]
I bumped into Harvey back home last year
Says I to him, Do you wanna go for a beer?
No, me sister's French husband is over, says he
I've been sent to get snails to impress him for tea
[Verse 3]
I was down in the snail shop, she told me to go
I'm a little bit late because business was slow
If I'm not home by six, I'll surely be done
The Mrs. will kill me, let's just go for the one
[Verse 4]
The one, the one, don't go for the one
Don't go for the one, for the one, for the one
The one, the one, don't go for the one
Don't go for the one, for the one, for the one
[Verse 5]
For the one went down fast, the second did too
Three or four followed, 'twas a fine how-do-you-do
Harvey looked at his watch, shrieked out with fright
It was twenty past ten, we'd been drinking all night
[Verse 6]
Well cursing my name, he sped 'cross the floor,
Clutching the nails, he ran out the door
I'm a dead man, he said, I'm drunk and I'm late
As he tore down the road and up to his gate
[Verse 7]
The one, the one, don't go for the one
Don't go for the one, for the one, for the one
The one, the one, don't go for the one
Don't go for the one, for the one, for the one
[Verse 8]
Well, he opened the gate and he ran down the path
But he knew he was in for the dragon's wrath
But he tripped and he fell and up in the air
Went the bag with the snails flying everywhere
[Verse 9]
Hearing the noise, she kicked open the door
Snails and Harvey were spread 'cross the floor
You're three hours late, she screamed, loud as she could
What's your excuse, this had better be good
[Verse 10]
Well, he looks down at the snails and with a confident air
He says, Five more feet, lads, we're nearly there
[Verse 11]
The one, the one, don't go for the one
Don't go for the one, for the one, for the one
The one, the one, don't go for the one
Don't go for the one, for the one, for the one
[Verse 12]
The one, the one, don't go for the one
Don't go for the one, for the one, for the one
The one, the one, don't go for the one
Don't go for the one, for the one, for the one
