Tempers fraying in the Hat And Fan

Gets so hot in there, even in November

Heated words from slicked back hair

It's too small a world for some people to share

Now Gary stares at an empty chair

Told her "five, or ten, and he'd join her out there"

Not again, she's not going in

She just sighs...

It's only half nine

There's time

Time for drinking

And still

More time

'Til he gets to thinking of her

She's in

Two minds

Maybe she'll board up her door

He sinks

Two pints

And that's how it goes

It's guaranteed he's a funny man

You can bet your life that he'll bring the house down

Always plays such a winning hand

He just cools it down

They should knight him for it

But outside, his former wife

Starts a solo drive

She's so tired of waiting

When he crawls in

Will she give him a surprise?

It's only half nine

There's time

Time for drinking

And still

More time

'Til he gets to thinking of her

She's in

Two minds

Maybe she'll board up her door

He sinks

Two pints

And that's how it goes
