lyrics

Closer to the Lord then he is to his ale
Back to the wall he's a friend without fail
Leading you to living water, then straight to the pub
He'll fill up your soul and then fill up your mug

Throw every punch that you think you can bring
because he's so drunk yeah he won't feel a thing
arms as big as a red wood trunk
it's a cold day in hell when he stops getting drunk

Pour another shot from the top shelf
No need to worry, the lord's on your side
He's a man of the cloth, he's a man of the ale
Nothing to fear, he's praying all night that you're safe

Holy ghost aint the only spirit he wields
the word his sword and the lord is his shield
the pope said no women, not one he can choose
well lucky for Tuck he said nothing about booze

out of my way
scum to defeat

I've been drinking all night
Prince John, we're comin' to fight!
