The short straw owner’s society

Members of the short straw owners society
welcome to the luncheon do
Pick another long shot give it more than you have got
and grumble ‘bout a curse on you
Just as long as you’re wasting your time that’s fine.

Barricaded indoors, weather’s bad and what is more
it’s shitty for the time of year
Spent all day and all night both hands ties behind my back
wondering what I’m doing here
Just as long as I am wasting my time that’s…

So damn fine, lets celebrate with some dandelion wine
All your life you’re counting down to your next lemon faced line.

Members of the short straw owners society
come a little closer do.
If you came along here for some tea and sympathy
have I got a surprise for you.
Give it up you’ve all been wasting your time

It’s so damn fine to celebrate with a dandelion wine.
