put it there pal

old friend

it's been so long

and it's been so real

and if i helped you once it was no big deal

too bad i can't be there when they call your name

they're going to write you down in the hall of fame

you really got what you wanted

i'm thrilled as pie

it really couldn't happen to a nicer guy

put it there pal

put it there

now and then just throw me a crumb

put it there pal

put it there

thanks for the help when i needed it

chum

you saw me drowning

you said i was a fake and laughed

then you jumped right in and used me for a raft

you shot me down with friendly fire

you were all dressed up to play gun for hire

the rope you threw me was made of barbed wire

but put it there pal

put it there

pal

put it there

i know you mean well

call me a sentimental fool

i know sometimes you've got to be kind to be cruel

when you pat me on the back

that was quite some slap

that kind of compliment

it could kill a chap

so i'll drink your health

oh this emotion's given me a thirst

but maybe i'll have my food-taster drink it first

put it there pal

put it there

you deserve everything you got coming

put it there pal

put it there

call me up if you want to come slumming

some say you're a rattlesnake in the grass

but i say the sun shines out of your arse

so it's no hard feelings

live and let live

with a gift like yours

you're born to give

you're so full of love it leaks out like a sieve

so put it there pal

put it there pal

put it there

put it there

put it there

put it there

pal

put it there

pal

put it there

pal
