THE PITS
(CHORUS)

It's the 24th of May and we likes to get away

Go up to the Irving for a coke and chips
D G D
Hitches up the camper and out of town we go

Out on the highway with everything in tow

The dog is in the back seat and Grandfather's drunk

Youngsters in the trailer and the wife is in the trunk

We polish off a bottle and a pot of moose stew

Green boughs on the fire to keep away the flies

The youngsters gets excited then they starts to bounce and jump up

And drowns a few worms in a tractor mud hole

Then listens to the radio we plays it good and loud

A scoff on the Coleman stove is bound to draw a crowd
D G D
When the weekend's over and we're headed back to town
Bm D A
A half inch of sloppy snow lying on the ground
D G D
A hundred dollars poorer, who wants to be rich
Bm D A D
We just had a lovely time out in the pits
