First Yoke
Lyrics
Well, there's a very good chance
Should you ever try to alter your plans
From the hand me down family dance
You'll never make it alone
(Come on Johnny, won't you take the first yoke)
Now there's too much risk
In a foolish swing and a miss
So knock it off now whatever it is
Because it's written in stone
(Come on Johnny, oh la, la, la, la)
Just take the first yoke
Make your bank at the old smoke
Keep your track on a tight rope
Don't let the family down
'Cause you're a good kid
You better do what your daddy did
Ah listen buddy now, God forbid
You venture out and go broke
Just take the first yoke
Down at the factory
There's a rooted family history
So take what's handed to you blissfully
And don't you ever run out
(Come on Johnny, won't you take the first yoke)
And if your poor heart breaks
And you wonder if you've made a mistake
Well, come on Johnny now for goodness sake
That's not what life's all about
(Come on Johnny, oh la, la, la, la)
Just take the first yoke
Make your bank at the old smoke
Keep your track on a tight rope
Don't let the family down
'Cause you're a good kid
You better do what your daddy did
Ah listen Johnny now, God forbid
You venture out and go broke
Just take the first yoke
How you'll be fixed in your hate
And how the cruel world will never relate
To the sad and unfortunate fate
Of a boy with no spine
(Come on Johnny, won't you take the first yoke)
But hey you get to be friends with the cops
So you can drink and drive and never get stopped
And there's always good parking spots
And hardly ever a line
(Come on Johnny, oh la, la, la, la)
Ah, just take the first yoke
Make your bank at the old smoke
Keep your track on a tight rope
Don't let the family down
'Cause you're a good kid
You better do what your daddy did
Well listen buddy now, God forbid
You venture out and go broke
Just take the first yoke
Make your bank at the old smoke
Keep your track on a tight rope
Don't let the family down
Oh, 'cause you're a good kid
You better do what your daddy did
Well listen buddy now, God forbid
You venture out and go broke
Come on, just take the first yoke
For the ages or a link of spoiled chain
The ultra-modern statement of abominable crime
