make yourself at home 
i may be wrong but that?s alright 
i am not alone

another man he loved duct tape 
he made a duct tape suit 
and he had duct tape from the top of his hat 
to the heel of his cowboy boot 
and when he died they buried him 
down in that cold cold ground 
and they stuff him in that pine box boy 
and then they taped him down 
i was out of town 

grab a chair and stay all night 
make yourself at home 
i may be wrong but that?s alright 
i am not alone

and then there was this Irishman 
who, uh, stayed drunk all time
