Kids at Christmas Pt.2 - Scouting For Girls

I was seventeen, it was Christmas Eve

You were older than me

Only went for that drink 'cause you said I’d get in

I’d been working like a dog all week

But the place was rammed to check out the band

Everybody from home was there

They’re singing dance like Mick Dagger

And from behind we had the

At the end of the night, the tragical time

Ain’t you got a place to go?

But the band were on fire, nobody was tired

We said no, no, no

And when the band refused to finish

The barman poured himself a Guinness

And we drank the place dry

And danced like kids at Christmas

We were singing

Sha-la-la-la-la

Sha-la-la-la-la

Sha-la-la-la-la-lay

Sha-la-la-la-la

Sha-la-la-la

Oh god, that band could play

Drank the place dry

And danced like kids at Christmas

It was nearly half two when I finally found you

And we both drunk more than we should

The neighbours complained but the music still came

And damn, it never felt so good

'Cause they played nothing new, just rock 'n' roll tunes

And everybody sang along

The drummer took off his shirt

And the girls screamed «let's get in on»

Took you outside, you asked for a light

I said, «Do you have a place to go?»

You thought for a while, closing your eyes

You said no, no, no

While we were stealing kisses

The band refused to finish

And we drank the place dry

And danced like kids at Christmas

We were singing

Sha-la-la-la-la

Sha-la-la-la-la

Sha-la-la-la-la-lay

Sha-la-la-la-la

Sha-la-la-la

Oh god, that band can play

We drank the place dry

And danced like kids at Christmas

We all moved on, got new jobs

Everybody I knew seemed to leave

We make our homes wherever we go

I don’t go out now on Christmas Eve

The pub was shut down, the owner left town

Ran off with the barmaid

But I’ll remember that night for the rest of my life

And this is how I think it went

And the band refused to finish

The barmaid, she was livid

But we drank the place dry

And danced like kids at Christmas

We were singing

Sha-la-la-la-la

Sha-la-la-la-la

Sha-la-la-la-la-lay

Sha-la-la-la-la

Sha-la-la-la

Outside is Christmas day

Sha-la-la-la-la

Sha-la-la-la-la

Sha-la-la-la-la-lay

Sha-la-la-la-la

Sha-la-la-la

Oh, God that band could play

We drank the place dry and danced like

We drank the place dry and danced like

We drank the place dry and danced like kids at Christmas
