the stamping ground

costello, elvis

the stamping ground

the stamping ground. all your old gang

still hang around. coming in with the same blokes

going home with the same jokes

if you ever go missing

i know where you'll be found: the stamping ground. the big fella on the front door knows your face. the barman pretends that he's saved you a place

but when your back is turned

they say she's older than she tells. i could stand the main attraction

but not the clientele. the stamping ground

the stamping ground. all your old gang

still hang around. coming in with the same blokes

going home with the same jokes

if you ever go missing

i know where you'll be found: the stamping ground. everybody knows

evrybody's trouble

who comes in alone

who leaves as a couple. when they seen you coming

babe

they act like they're pleased to meet you. say it's very nice to know you
