Elton John - Last to Arrive lyrics

They're barring the doors at the
Back of the hall it's cold in the winter
Some freeze in the fall
The banquet's the supper that's
Set for the swine
If you're not at the gathering
And you've gone down the line

You're the last to arrive
You're the first one to leave
You don't give us the time
You don't drop us a line
Well a dime in the phone is
The best way I know
You're the last to arrive
My friend you're the first one to go

The truck picks you up on
Your front porch at night
And you're back before sundown if
You don't get blind
We're not chaining you down
To your castle tonight
We're just trying to make you
See some sort of light

They'll all drink your health out
Of pewter and wood get drunk in the hayloft
Playing dirty and good
There's ten pounds of oxen
Were skewered on spit
There'll not be an ounce if
You don't make it quick
