The Story Of Them

Them

When friends were friends

And company was right

We'd drink and talk and sing

All through the night



Morning ame leisurely and bright

Downtown we'd walk

And passers by, would shudder with delight

Mmmmmm! Good times



And there was this man

All the cats were there

Just dirty enough to say, "We don't care"

But, the management have had complaints

About some cats with long, long hair

"Look, look, look" And people'd stare

"Why, you won't be allowed in anywhere!"



Barred from pubs, clubs and dancin' halls

Made the scene at the Spanish rooms on the falls

And man, four pints of that scrumpy was enough to have you, outta your mind

Climbin', climbin' up the walls

Out of your mind

But it was a gas, all the same

Ummm! Good time!



Now just 'round about this time

With the help of the three J's

Started playin' at the Maritime

That's Jerry, Jerry and Jimmy



You know they were always fine

And they helped us run the Maritime

Don't forget Kit, hittin' people on the head

An' knockin' 'em out

You know he did his best and all

Was something else, then

Ummmm, Lord, good times



And people say,

Who are or what are, Them?

The little one sings

And that big one plays the guitar

With a thimble on his finger

Runs it up and down the strings



The bass player don't shave much

I think they're all a little bit touched

But the people came

And thats how we made our name

Too much it was

Umm, yeah, our good times



Wild, sweaty, crude, ugly and mad

And sometimes just, a little bit sad

Yeah, they sneered an' all

But up there, we just havin' a ball

It was gas, you know

Lord, some good times



It was kind ball for, Them

We are Them, take it or leave it

Do you know how they took it, and it kept comin'

And we worked for the people

Sweet, sweat and t
