A Quick One While He's Away - Green Day

Her man’s been gone

For nearly a year

He was due home yesterday

But he ain’t here

Her man’s been gone

For nigh on a year

He was due home yesterday

But he ain’t here

Down your street your crying is a well-known sound

Your street is very well-known throughout your town

Your town is very famous for the little girl

Whose crying can be heard all around the world

Fa la la la la la

Fa la la la la Fa la la la la la Fa la la la la We have a remedy

You’ll appreciate

No need to be so sad

It’s only late

We’ll bring you flowers and things

Help pass the time

We’ll give him eagle’s wings

So he can fly to you

Fa la la la la la

Fa la la la la Fa la la la la la Fa la la la la la We have a remedy

Fa la la la la la la We have a remedy

Fa la la la la la la We have a remedy

Fa la la la la la la We have a remedy

Little girl, why don’t you stop your crying?

I’m gonna make you feel alright

My name is Ivor

I’m an engine driver

I know him well

I know why you feel blue

Just 'cause he’s late

Don’t mean he’ll never get through

He told me he loves you, he ain’t no liar, I ain’t either

So let’s have a smile for an old engine driver

Let’s have a smile for an old engine driver

(Train noises)

Please take a sweet

Come take a walk with me We’ll sort it out

Back at my place, maybe

It’ll come right, you ain’t no fool, I ain’t either

So why not be nice to an old engine driver?

Better be nice to an old engine driver

We’ll soon

(Come on, old horse)

We’ll soon be home

We’ll soon be home

We’ll soon

We’ll soon, soon, soon be home

We’ll soon

We’ll soon, soon, soon be Dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang

(Cellos, please)

Cello, cello, cello, cello, cello, cello

Cello, cello, cello, cello, cello, cello

I can’t believe it Do my eyes deceive me?

Am I back in your arms?

Away from all harm?

It’s like a dream to be with you again

I can’t believe that I’m with you again

I missed you and I must admit

I kissed a few and once did sit

On Ivor the engine driver’s lap

And later with him, had a nap
