Face the Hangman [Outtake from Open Up and Say....Ahh!]

Friday night at midnight
Looking for what I need
I heard a tale that somewhere
That a dude had a real go at me

So like a rat race cowboy
I slipped into the human zoo
Headed down some trouble
Got myself a drink or two

Well, I took to the streets and I took to the bars
Marched right in but I didnt get far
Manager said, hey boy theres the door
But I didnt leave until I evened the score

And now I gotta face the hangman
Gotta pay for what I done
I gotta face the hangman
Or by the noose I swing in the morning sun

Like a tipsy gypsy
Looking like Id been had
But like the story says
This wild-eyed boy is bad

I got a police squad car
Taxi to the local slam
They said, son youre gonna pay for what youve done
But I dont give a damn

Just cause I like to drink and dance all night
An alleycat brawl in an old fist fight
Give me no lip boy or Ill kick you in the mouth
Watch you head fly north and your teeth fly south

Now I gotta face the hangman
Gotta pay for what I done
I gotta face the hangman
Or by the noose I swing in the morning sun

No, no, no no
No, no, no

Now the judge looked and me and said
"That boy he definitely be guilty"
Ooh, let him swing

Now I gotta face the hangman
I gotta pay for what I done
See I gotta face the hangman
Or by the noose I swing in the morning sun

I gotta face the hangman
Gotta pay for what I done
Said I gotta face the hangman
Or by the noose I swing in the morning sun
