| As this blessed evening falls | |
| Turn your back against the wall | |
| And protect your hands and face | |
| As you shield yourself from slings and arrows | |
| Keep your eye upon the sparrow | |
| As this blessed evening falls | |
| Moonlight over Montreal | |
| Don't try to resist arrest | |
| 'Cos they'll smack you down before they cuff you | |
| Plant some drugs then try to snuff you | |
| And the South will rise again | |
| And we'll be in bed by ten | |
| But just don't assume that you're my friend | |
| And we'll shoot until there's sparks colliding | |
| As this blessed evening falls | |
| Don't forget the alcohol | |
| I can smell it on your breath | |
| With a message from your undertaker | |
| Stuffed in a martini shaker | |
| As this blessed evening falls | |
| Turn your back against the wall | |
| And protect your hands and face | |
| As you shield yourself from slings and arrows | |
| Keep your eye upon the sparrow | |
| And the South will rise again | |
| And we'll be in bed by ten | |
| But just don't assume that you're my friend | |
| And we'll shoot until there's sparks colliding | |
| When this blessed evening falls | |
| As this blessed evening falls |
