Hang me on the line
Hang me till I'm dry
I'm never gonna get any better than wet
If I'm not hanging on the line

I was going to fast
To save my glass of wine
I'd been drinking
Till I was drunken dry

The barman said take another dose
And I propose that you might bet,
That I came home pretty wet

When's it gonna rain?
It's been fretting all day that it's coming our way
When's it gonna rain?
You better stay awake
'Cos I don't want to be found on a puddle on the ground

Hang me on the line
Hang me till I'm dry
I'm never gonna get any better than wet
If I'm not hanging on the line
