"When I hit the floor" - Girth's Ode inspired by Bonfire Night 2005

To the tune of "When I'm sixty-four" by the Beatles


When It gets colder having lost all my hair 
And my ears stick out 
Will you still be burning that belly of mine ? 
Birthday Greetings, Brandy and Wine 

If I pig out till a quarter to three 
Then we drink some more 
Will you still heed me ? Will you still believe me ? 
As I hit the floor !! 

You'll be colder too, 
And if you say the word I could drink with you 

I could be handy lighting that fuse 
Drunken fireworks and Song 
You can fix my drip beside the fireside 
Sunday morning dark glasses and hide ! 

Found in the garden, down on my knees 
Who could ask for more 
Will you still heed me ? Will you still believe me ? 
As I hit the floor !! 

What a bummer, we're all spent before the actual night 
Elders tut "Oh dear !!" 
We shall drink and wave 
Clambering Children up on their knees 
Vladvar, Girth and Dave 

Send me the doctor, Help me Caroline 
Is alcohol good for you ? 
Indicate precisely where it hurts you say ? 
My head and liver must be wasting away !! 

Give me the answer, perhaps drinking till dawn ? 
Wine for evermore 
Will you still heed me ? Will you still believe me ? 
As I hit the floor !!
