They say it's gonna be 100deg, even more maybe,  but that won't stop the roast

Who's gonna make the gravy?   I bet it won't taste the same,  just add flour, salt
          Em                                                      F#m     
A little red wine and don't forget a dollop of tomato sauce for sweetness

All the treasure and the trash,  and later in the evening, I can just imagine,  
                      F#m                        Em                       D    
You'll put on Junior Murvin and push the tables back, and you'll dance with Rita
