Lyrics:

Once, I loved a girl from Newcastle,
But she left me sore
Yeah, she broke my heart and bruised my soul
But I don't care anymore

So, don't wave your flags, just wave your beer
As we slowly turn to clay
And we'll all get drunk and sing this song
Till there's nothing more to say

All right, Pops, you cantankerous ol' fool,
Step on up and give us a toast!
Well, the Lord giveth and taketh away,
And if that ain't a sweet deal, I'll kiss your ass!
Yee-hee-hee-hah!

If I had it all to do again,
I'd be swingin' from the mast.
'Cause I wouldn't trade a million bucks
For one second of me past.

So, don't wave your flags, just wave your beer
As we slowly turn to clay
And we'll all get drunk and sing this song
Till there's nothing more to say

Mysterious John, I think it's your turn,
Step up and give us a toast
Here's to the women of the world
It would be a sad place without them, God bless them.
Yee-hee-hee-hah, buddy!
(Bet your ass)

When we die and hit the afterlife
You'll be seein' me, my dear
I'll be riding a barrel of whiskey on
A tidal wave of beer

So, don't wave your flags, just wave your beer
As we slowly turn to clay
And we'll all get drunk and sing this song
Till there's nothing more to say

One more time!

So, don't wave your flags, just wave your beer
As we slowly turn to clay
And we'll all get drunk and sing this song
Till there's nothing more to say
(And we'll drink one for Tom Waits)
Till there's nothing more to say *3
