Lyrics for Time Honoured Tradition

Well it's time honoured tradition To get enough nutrition Stay alive until you die And that is the end of you And I pity the fools Who don't recognize the rules We cannot cheat the reaper's reap And that is the end of that That is the end of that That is the end of that That is the end of that Ho ho ho ho... Well it's not an old wives tale Too much red meat and ale Will make you pay get five a day Or that is the end of you And it's a common misconception But true without exception These nights of booze catch up with you's And that is an actual fact That is the end of that That is the end of that That is the end of that Ho ho ho ho... La lalala... Ho ho ho ho... La lalala... It's time honoured tradition To get enough nutrition Stay alive until you die And that is the end of you And I pity the fools Who don't recognize the rules We cannot cheat the reaper's reap And that is the end of that
