[Pre-Chorus]
Well, sit right down, my wicked son and let me tell you a story
About the boy who fell from glory and how he was a wicked son
[Chorus]
This ain't no holiday
But it always turns out this way
Here I am with my hand
[Verse]

[Chorus]
This ain't no holiday
But it always turns out this way
Here I am with my hand
[Pre-Chorus]
Well, sit right down, my wicked son and let me tell you a story
About the boy who fell from glory and how he was a wicked son
[Chorus]
This ain't no holiday, no, no
But it always turns out this way
Here I am with my hand
This ain't no holiday
But it always turns out this way
Here I am with my hand
