I used to work and take a salary
In a hole up near a factory
But it did not take me too long
To lace up my boots and say "So Long"
Long Spanish boots on a "So Long"

I took a day job in Bethlehem
I nearly threw the towel then
But it did not take me too long
To lace up my boots and say "So Long"
I raised high Spanish boots on a "So Long"

I took a Spanish haberdashery
Restored with 15th century tapestry
Oh, Mr Nesbitt got the best of me
So I strapped on my boots and said "So Long"
Laced up my high boots and "So Long!" Yeeaahh!
