Lyrics
[Verse 1]
In the sweet old country where I come from
Nobody ever works
Nothing ever gets done
We hang fire
We hang fire
[Verse 2]
You know marrying money is a full-time job
I don't need the aggravation
I'm a lazy slob
I hang fire
I hang fire, hang fire, hang
Put it on the wire, baby, yeah
I hang fire, hang fire
Put it on the wire, baby
Go ahead
I hang fire
[Verse 3]
We've got nothing to eat
We got nowhere to work
Nothing to drink
We just lost our shirts
I'm on the dole
We ain't for hire
Say what the hell
Say what the hell
Hang fire
Hang fire, hang fire, hang fire
Put it on the wire, baby
Hang fire, hang fire, hang fire, hang fire
Hang fire, hang fire
Put it on the wire, baby
[Verse 4]
Hang fire, hang fire, hang fire
Hang fire, hang fire
Put it on the wire, baby
[Verse 5]
Yeah, take a thousand dollars
Go and have some fun
Put it all on at a hundred to one
Hang fire
Uh, hang fire, hang fire
Put it on the wire, baby
Uh, hang fire, hang fire
Put it on the wire
Hang fire, hang fire, hang fire, hang fire
Put it on the wire, baby
Put it on the wire
