John Gilmartin |
| John Gilmartin was a strong man, he was a strong man |
| Till he fell down the stairs |
| And got his Workman’s Comp |
| Now he lives alone, he’s the oldest bachelor on the block of his Far Rockaway |
| home, Rockaway |
| Scared old ladies from behind the door ask, «Who is it?» |
| And then don’t open up |
| They know John, but you can’t be too careful |
| Can’t be too careful |
| Well I wouldn’t want to be here when the sun comes up |
| Or the bars let out |
| When the gas bill comes he makes a call to his nephews down in Port Chester and |
| Rye |
| Then comes the check and the promise of a visit some afternoon in the summertime |
| Scared old ladies from behind the door ask, «Who is it?» |
| And then don’t open up |
| They know John, but you can’t be too careful |
| Can’t be too careful |
| Well I wouldn’t want to be here when the sun comes up |
| Or the bars let out |
| John Gilmartin was a strong man, he was a strong man |
| Till he fell down the stairs |
