Well I staggered in one night fearin' for my life

But the mood was just right for a kiss

She sat straight up in bed swingin' at my head

And she said I'd be tastin' more than this

So that's what they call what you get

She'll forgive and forget but first you'll regret



It's the ten pound ear hole

It's the ten pound ear hole

The riot act is what you'll be read

You'd rather have a slap upside the head

So spare me your whole life story

At least we'll get home with the glory



I went down to the local to get my fill

Over two three I did linger

A long winded clown laid his filibuster down

With a boast and a toast and a bender

I suggested he clam up he thought I said stand up

And that was the last I remember



It's the ten pound ear hole

It's the ten pound ear hole

The chapter and verse is what you'll be fed

You'd rather have a slap upside the head

So spare me your whole life story

At least we'll get home with the glory



Well I got my courage up I'm not sure for what

And I made my way to confession

He said come right in I said father I have sinned

But I swear that I've learned my lesson

Then he read it all to me and said pray the rosary

A hundred times in succession



It's the ten pound ear hole

It's the ten pound ear hole

The chapter and verse is what you'll be fed

You'd rather have a slap upside the head

So spare me your whole life story

At least we'll get home with the glory
