Ball and Chain - Jonathan Coulton

Did you say it was black tie?

I lost a button, but it fits just fine

Remind me what time

Do you kids still high five?

Cool Dad is fun, Cool Dad’s your favorite guy!

Watch me on the floor

Ball and Chain, what would I be

Without this weight that’s pullin' me?

Down and out and back again

Don’t ask me

Don’t ask me

So I’m givin' you these keys

Ten minutes more, no matter what I say

Then the Irish goodbye

The seat’s up too far

Back roads I’m spinning with the starry sky

Pour me out at home

Ball and Chain, what would I be

Without this weight that’s pullin' me?

Down and out and back again

Don’t ask me

Don’t ask me

I’m a little bit surprised

I sleep for 50 years, and you’re still here

Takin' up my side

And the sun moves so fast

Too fast to see, too bright to look too long

I open up my eyes

Ball and Chain, what would I be

Without this weight that’s pullin' me?

Down and out and back again

Don’t ask me

Don’t ask me
