A song to my Friend

“The Man with the Shorts”

Verse 1
There’s one man in San Ġwann town,
Who’s always drinking, never down.
In his shorts so bright, he takes a sip,
Black Label whisky on his lip!

Chorus
Oh, the man with the shorts, he’s quite a sight,
Laughing loud from morning light.
With Black Label close, he’s never slow,
He makes the streets his funny show!

Verse 2
He talks to himself, he laughs out loud,
Sometimes standing in a little crowd.
Living with two but walking alone,
His whisky love is well known!

(Repeat Chorus)
Oh, the man with the shorts, he’s quite a sight,
Laughing loud from morning light.
With Black Label close, he’s never slow,
He makes the streets his funny show!

Bridge
Black Label in hand, shorts on tight,
He’s the star of the San Ġwann night.
Silly talks and whisky cheers,
He’s the legend that everyone hears!

Final Chorus
Oh, the man with the shorts, he’s quite a sight,
Laughing loud from morning light.
With Black Label close, he’s never slow,
He makes the streets his funny show!
