Face The Hangman (Outtake From Open Up And Say Ahh!)

Friday night at midnight

Looking for what I need

I heard a tale that somewhere

That a dude had a real go at me

So like a rat race cowboy

I slipped into the human zoo

Headed down some trouble

Got myself a drink or two

Well, I took to the streets and I took to the bars

Marched right in but I didn't get far

Manager said, hey boy there's the door

But I didn't leave until I evened the score

And now I gotta face the hangman

Gotta pay for what I done

I gotta face the hangman

Or by the noose I swing in the morning sun

Like a tipsy gypsy

Looking like I'd been had

But like the story says

This wild-eyed boy is bad

I got a police squad car

Taxi to the local slam

They said, son you're gonna pay for what you've done

But I don't give a damn

Just cause I like to drink and dance all night

An alleycat brawl in an old fist fight

Give me no lip boy or I'll kick you in the mouth

Watch you head fly north and your teeth fly south

Now I gotta face the hangman

Gotta pay for what I done

I gotta face the hangman

Or by the noose I swing in the morning sun

No, no, no no

No, no, no

Now the judge looked and me and said

"That boy he definitely be guilty"

Ooh, let him swing

Now I gotta face the hangman

I gotta pay for what I done

See I gotta face the hangman

Or by the noose I swing in the morning sun

I gotta face the hangman

Gotta pay for what I done

Said I gotta face the hangman

Or by the noose I swing in the morning sun
