At the microphone:

"Damn… here I am again. Who'da thunk it?" The laughter goes up, but it's friendly, not "I'll have yer liver fer breakfast, ye bastard" laughter, so that's cool. "This is an old song… been covered by a lot of bands, and truth to tell, I don't know exactly who first performed it." I tip a wink to Keon. "But hell, if you're that worried about it - BUGGER OFF!"

And we're off and running.

Well, bugger off, you bastards bugger off!  ("Fuck you!")
Bugger off, you bastards bugger off!  ("Fuck you!")
Like a herd of bloody swine who refuse to leave the trough
You'll get no more this evening, so you bastards bugger off


I fumble a bit on the first line, but Keon is there to fill in the gap.

Well, you've been a lovely audience, but my, how the time does pass.
Now don't you all be lettin' the door hit you in the ass.
You've been a splendid audience, but enough is enough.
We'd take it very kindly if you'd all just bugger off!

Bugger off, you bastards bugger off!  ("Fuck you!")
Bugger off, you bastards bugger off!  ("Fuck you!")
Like a herd of bloody swine who refuse to leave the trough
You'll get no more this evening, so you bastards bugger off


I wave to Monty and Patti before the next line, grinning like a jackass. Imagine that…. Monty grins back, just as wide. Why do I think he might know what's coming up next?

Here's to the barkeeps and the waitresses who've been servin' you your beers,
They've put up with your noxious breath and your stupid drunken leers.
Be leavin' all your money on the table when you go,
Tomorrow you'll have a throbbin' head and nothin' else to show

So bugger off, you bastards bugger off!  ("Fuck you!")
Bugger off, you bastards bugger off!  ("Fuck you!")
Like a herd of bloody swine who refuse to leave the trough
You'll get no more this evening, so you bastards bugger off

Here's to all the lovely ladies who might be waitin' for the band,
And thinkin' one of them might make a charmin' one night stand.
Please don't be offended, girls, the song's not meant for you.
And we're happy to oblige you when this nasty job is through.

Bugger off, you bastards bugger off!  ("Fuck you!")
Bugger off, you bastards bugger off!  ("Fuck you!")
Like a herd of bloody swine who refuse to leave the trough
You'll get no more this evening, so you bastards bugger off

So now you're promisin' the ladies a night of lovin' bliss,
When truth be told, you're far too drunk to stand up straight and piss.
So give it up, you bloody sods, you'll not be gettin' laid.
And the sooner that you're out the door, the sooner we'll be paid.

Bugger off, you bastards bugger off!  ("Fuck you!")
Bugger off, you bastards bugger off!  ("Fuck you!")
Like a herd of bloody swine who refuse to leave the trough
You'll get no more this evening, so you bastards bugger off

Bugger off, you bastards bugger off!  ("Fuck you!")
Bugger off, you bastards bugger off!  ("Fuck you!")
Like a herd of bloody swine who refuse to leave the trough
You'll get no more this evening, so you bastards bugger off
You'll get no more this evening, so you bastards bugger off
