Artist: The Who
Song: A Quick One, While He's Away

[I. Her Man's Been Gone]
Her man's been gone
For nearly a year
He was due home yesterday
But he ain't here

Her man's been gone
For nigh on a year
He was due home yesterday
But he ain't here

[II. Crying Town]
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

Down your street your crying is a well-known sound
Your street is very well known throughout in town
Your town is very famous for the little girl
Whose crying can be heard all around the world

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

[III. We Have A Remedy]
Fa la la la la la
Fa la la la la
Fa la la la la la
Fa la la la la

We have a remedy
You'll appreciate
No need to be so sad
He's only late

We'll bring you flowers and things
Help pass your time
We'll give him eagle's wings
Then he can fly to you

Fa la la la la la
Fa la la la la
Fa la la la la la
Fa la la la la
Fa la la la la la
Fa la la la la laaa

We have a remedy
Fa la la la la la la
We have a remedy
Fa la la la la la la
We have a remedy
Fa la la la la la la
We have a remedy
Fa la la la la la la

We have a remedy.
We have!
Little girl, why don't you stop your crying?
I'm gonna make you feel all right.

[IV. Ivor The Engine Driver]
My name is Ivor
I'm an engine driver

I know him well
I know why you feel blue
Just 'cause he's late
Don't mean he'll never get through

He told me he loves you
He ain't no liar, I ain't either
So let's have a smile for an old engine driver
So let's have a smile for an old engine driver

Please take a sweet (take a sweet)
Come take a walk with me (walk with me)
We'll sort it out (sort it out)
Back at my place maybe (back at my place maybe)

It'll come right
You ain't no fool, I ain't either
So why not be nice to an old engine driver
Better be nice to an old engine driver
Better be nice to an old engine driver

[V. Soon Be Home]
We'll soon be home
We'll soon be home
We'll soon
We'll soon, soon, soon be home

We'll soon be home
We'll soon be home
We'll soon
We'll soon, soon, soon be home

Come on, old horse

Soon be home
Soon be home
Soon
We'll soon, soon, soon be home

We'll soon
We'll soon, soon, soon be home

We'll soon be home
Soon be home

[VI. You Are Forgiven]
Dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang

Cello, cello, cello, cello, cello, cello
Cello, cello, cello, cello, cello, cello
Cello, cello, cello, cello, cello, cello
Cello, cello, cello, cello, cello, cello

I can't believe it
Do my eyes deceive me?
Am I back in your arms?
Away from all harm?

It's like a dream to be with you again
Can't believe that I'm with you again

I missed you and I must admit
I kissed a few and once did sit
On Ivor the Engine Driver's lap
And later with him, had a nap

You are forgiven, you are forgiven
You are forgiven, you are forgiven
You are forgiven, you are forgiven
You are forgiven, you are forgiven
You are forgiven, you are forgiven
You are forgiven, you are forgiven
You are forgiven, you are forgiven
Forgiven forgiven forgiven, you are forgiven
Forgiven forgiven forgiven, you are forgiven
Forgiven forgiven forgiven, you are forgiven
Forgiven forgiven forgiven, you are forgiven
You are forgiven
You are forgiven, you are forgiven
You are forgiven, you are forgiven

You are forgiiiven
You are forgiven
You are forgiven, you are forgiven

You're forgiven!
