Smellin' like a cat house and dressed fit to kill.

She picked up her satchel and walked up the hill.

Grover should have known Becky wouldn't stay long with an empty pint and a man on the wagon.

 

CHORUS: "And if it takes this long it will take two weeks but Becky Fellabella won't walk the streets.

Life is too short to stop whiskey drinking and two minutes is two long for her to leave me." 

 

His face it is sweating like a cold fifth of wine. North St. Andrews Street is taking his time. He walked so fast he raised steam from the street. His trousers they can't hold up his two pounds of heat.

 

CHORUS: "And if it takes this long it will take two weeks but Becky Fellabella won't walk the streets.

Life is too short to stop whiskey drinking and two minutes is two long for her to leave me."

 

It got so still and the air smelled like doom. Grover and the candleflies flew into the room. She flopped on the bed like a fish out of water. He had her hair in one hand; his revolver in the other. Becky should have known that soon she'd be dead. Three pulls of the trigger. Three holes in her head.

 

CHORUS: "And if it takes this long it will take two weeks but Becky Fellabella won't walk the streets.

Life is too short to stop whiskey drinking and two minutes is two long for her to leave me."

 

I cleaned up that room so it's all spic and span. Gonna rent it out tomorrow to a whiskey drinking man.

 

CHORUS: "And if it takes this long it will take two weeks but Becky Fellabella won't walk the streets.

Life is too short to stop whiskey drinking and two minutes is two long for her to leave me."
