Lyrics for To Lick Your Boots

Miss O'Malley didn't mean what she said Got a heart but a head full of lead She can dream but she never can do it You're alright and you're gonna get through it People spend their days trying to find new ways To put you down all over town But they're not fit to lick your boots Nothing harder to watch than an Englishman Trying to cry, even if he can He can dream but he never can do it Saying you, you're the one that blew it People spend their days trying to find new ways To put you down all over town But they're not fit to lick your boots People spend their days trying to find new ways To put you down all over town But they're not fit to lick your boots
