[Verse 1]
            
 They  made up

              
 their minds a

              
nd they starte

    
d  packing
          
 They left bef

 An exit to et

        
ernal slacking
            
 But where wer

[Verse 2]
            
 They  drank u

              
p the wine and

              
 they got to t

 
alking
            
 They now had 

             
more important

                
 things to say
            
 And when the 

              
car broke down

              
 they started 

    
walking
            
  But  where w

[Chorus]
              
 Anyone could
