Now the ice still clings to the rocks in the harbour
C G D
And the men are out pounding in Uncle Jim's shed,

No time for to waste for there's work to be done.

With a grin and a chuckle they know life must go on.

For its only the hard work that keeps a man sane.

Now the ice still clings to the rocks in the harbour,
C G D
But the boys are still sleepin' at quarter to two.
C G D
They'll be drinkin' and smokin' and dealing with boredom,
C G D
For it’s hard when you're idle and no work to do.
[Chorus]
