Lyrics
The stodgy man with a nippy word
He took, but he never gave
He never thought of another soul
Only sputtered a cold word and wave
And oh, but for the fat of the lamb
He slogged through every day
And oh, but for the fat of the lamb
He all but wasted away
The story is told of a saddened man
Who walked through life alone
He passed by all opportunity
To feed his wanton millstone
And oh, but for the fat of the lamb
He slogged through every day
And oh, but for the fat of the lamb
He all but wasted away
A thorny voice can leave a lasting stain
A moment that's aged and scarred
If only for the whisper of a loving soul
To break the chain of disregard
And oh, but for the fat of the lamb
He slogged through every day
And oh, but for the fat of the lamb
He all but wasted away
