Swell does the skull Don't want to be a sinner, no Don't want to be a sinner But bourbon, always bourbon Swell does the skull I don't want to be a sinner Don't want to be a sinner, no But velvet, always velvet Here he comes through the rain With his coat and his walking cane And he says softly to me "The war is over, we belong in the country" Oooh Oooh Ring home the bell There's honey on the bread now There's honey on the bread now And music, always music He comes home, out of the rain I take his coat, and his walking cane He can feel that I hold him tight The day's over We belong by the fireside Swell does my skull I'll never be without him I'll never be without him, no I'll never be without him, no
