Chip Away Boy

I used to have some fun

Me and everyone

Now I'm just employed



I'm a chip away boy

I'm a chip away boy



I remember humid nights

I remember how the full moon tugs

How it used to make us fight

And the language of the bugs

And even our doomsday



I'm a chip away boy

I'm a chip away boy

And I'll chip away

Till I make the other side

I'm a chip away boy

I'm a chip away boy



I think I'm falling in love

And now she's falling off her stool

It's not me she's thinking of

But I'm her little fool

And she's my Helen of Troy



I'm a chip away boy

I'm a chip away boy



You put on your camisole

And I'll jump in the rabbit hole

And head for the sluice-way



I'm a chip away boy

I'm a chip away boy

And I'll chip away

Till I make the other side
