Tom was a lush with a crush on a girl named Rene
At evening his longing would turn to object dismay
Evil comes in many guises many shapes and many sizes
It's in the bottle it's in the gla**
That falls to the floor with a sickening crash
He needs her right now
And he wants her and now
He's got a nation to set the wheels of love in motion
Tom took a drive to the dive where he drank every day
He looked up askance when by chance in walked Rene
She sat down beside him indulged him a little
Bowling him over like a skittle
But feeling certain that she was bored
He lowered his eyes to the swirling floor
He needs her right now
And he wants her and how
He's got a nation to set the wheels of love in motion
Now tom don't need no keepsake
To remember that girl by
If they mention her in pa**ing
He'll turn his head and sigh
He's got a nation to set the wheels of love in motion
A drunken nation to set the wheels of love in motion
