A Quick One While He's Away (cover) Lyrics - Green Day

I. Her Man's Been Gone 

Her man's been gone 

For nigh a year 

He was due home yesterday 

But he ain't here 

Her man's been gone 

For nigh on a year 

He was due home yesterday 

But he ain't here 

II. Crying Town 

Down your street your crying is a well-known sound 

Your street is very well known, throughout your town 

Your town is very famous for the little girl 

Whose cries can be heard all around the world

We have a remedy 

You'll appreciate 

No need to be so sad 

He's only late 

We'll bring you flowers and things 

Help pass your time 

We'll give him eagle's wings 

Then he can fly to you

We have a remedy. 

We have! 

Little girl guide, why don't you stop your crying? 

Here comes Ivor the engine driver to make you feel much better 

IV. Ivor The Engine Driver 

My name is Ivor 

I'm an engine driver 

I know him well 

I know why you feel blue 

Just 'cause he's late 

Don't mean he'll never get through 

He told me he loves you 

He ain't no liar, I ain't either 

So let's have a smile for an old engine driver 

So let's have a smile for an old engine driver 

Please take a sweet 

Come take a walk with me 

We'll sort it out 

Back at my place, maybe 

It'll come right 

You ain't no fool, I ain't either 

So why not be nice to an old engine driver? 

Better be nice to an old engine driver 

Better be nice to an old engine driver 

V. Soon Be Home 

We'll soon be home 

We'll soon be home 

We'll soon 

We'll soon, soon, soon be home 

We'll soon be home 

We'll soon be home 

We'll soon 

We'll soon, soon, soon be home 

Come on, old horse 

Soon be home 

Soon be home 

Soon 

We'll soon, soon, soon be home 

We'll soon 

We'll soon, soon, soon be home 

We'll soon be home 

Soon be home ... 

VI. You Are Forgiven 

Dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang 

Cello, cello, cello, cello, cello, cello 

Cello, cello, cello, cello, cello, cello 

Cello, cello, cello, cello, cello, cello 

Cello, cello, cello, cello, cello, cello 

I can't believe it 

Do my eyes deceive me? 

Am I back in your arms? 

Away from all harm? 

It's like a dream to be with you again 

Can't believe that I'm with you again 

I missed you and I must admit 

I kissed a few and once did sit 

On Ivor the Engine Driver's lap 

And later with him, had a nap 

You are forgiven, you are forgiven, you are forgiven ... (ad lib) 

You are forgiven
