Won't Stop
Kilroy Jenkins 1978 (New York) – 2018 (Dublin)
I have a phone and it keeps on ringing
i have a wife and she keeps on singing
John's got iced tea that he won't stop bringing
Ugly old wasp and he keeps on stinging
Got a tracker but it wont stop pinging
This shirt is too small and it keeps on clinging
Bought a new bell and it never stops dinging
Got this sword and that I’m always swinging
There’s a wet towel that I keep on wringing
