The Empty Bottle was half empty, tide was low,
and I was thirsty.
Saw her sitting at the bar, you know how some
girls are,
Always making eyes, well she wasn`t making eyes. 

So I sidled up beside her, settled down and
shouted, "Hi there."
"My name`s Stewart Ransom Miller, I`m a
serial lady-killer."
She said, "I`m already dead," that`s
exactly what she said. 

So we tripped the lights fantastic, we was both
made of elastic.
Midnight came and midnight went, and I though I
was the President.
She said, "Do you have a car," and I
said, "Do I have a car?" 

What`s so great about the Barrier Reef?
What`s so fine about art?
What`s so good about a Good Times Van,
When you`re working on a broken,
Working on a broken,
Working on a broken man? 

My heart wasn`t in it, not for one single minute.
I went through the motions with her. Her on top,
and me on liquor.
Didn`t do no good, well I didn`t think it would. 

What`s so great about the Barrier Reef?
What`s so fine about art?
What`s so good about a Good Times Van,
When you`re working on a broken,
Working on a broken,
Working on a broken man? 

When you`re working on a broken,
Working on a broken,
Working on a broken man. 

When you`re working on a broken,
Working on a broken,
Working on a broken man.
