[Verse 1]
Set me up just one more beer tell you what I'll do
I'll buy one for every Joe that's in this bar
Friend I ain't celebrating I'ma getting sweet revenge
'Cause this time ol' Helen's pushed me way too far
[Verse 2]
It's getting close to closing time and I'm still going strong
And I'ma teaching her a lesson there's no doubt
I'm sitting here drinking beer talking to my friends
Letting ol' Helen sit at home and sweat it out
[Chorus]
Let ol' Helen sit at home and sweat it out
Let her wonder if I'm ever gonna come back to the house
I found out there's more to life than hearing Helen scream and shout
Let's let ol' Helen sit at home and sweat it out
[Verse 3]
She ain't really such a bad ol' gal her cooking sure is fine
But I've had it boys she's pushed me way too far
Been sitting sitting and a-thinking I ain't eat a bite all day
There ain't a thing a man can eat here in this bar
[Verse 4]
So sit me up just one more beer make it tall and cold
At this point I'll find my own way out
I'm tired of all this sweet revenge I'm gonna pack it up
Go on home and help ol' Helen sweat it out
[Chorus]
Go on home and help ol' Helen sweat it out
Let her know that her old buddy's on his way back to the house
I don't really give a hang how much ol' Helen screams and shouts
In fact why don't the whole bunch of ya come on with me
Lets go on home and help ol' Helen sweat it out
