Fred went to a restaurant opening
With his work and he
Arrived home relatively early
Went straight up stairs
And came down
And I seen his knuckles.
And I knew right off
You have been fighting. ..again
And he puffed up his chest
And said yeah nobody
Has ever won against this man
He was taking the mick
Out of Foxy so I went to the toilets
And I layed him out.
Right so elaborate Fred?
Let's just say I won
Fair and square.
Ok I don't want to hear it.
People like to fight their own battles
You had no business jumping in.
I'm going to bed.

He went to work following week
And his boss said
That the man he fought with
Had broken ribs
A smashed cheek bone
And other injuries.
And claimed he never
Said or did anything to provoke Fred
Fred only did it to prove himself to
To be tougher. How grown up and cultivated of him.
And that Fred had the duty
To make a sincere and official
Apology because he did business
With his company and
It was unreasonable force.
And if the man had reported
Fred that night
He would have had to appear in court.
When we're out one night in town
Some body spoke about seeing
The incredible hulk walking
Home one night with blood
On his bare naked top half
And I asked what they were
On about at home later
And he said the guy had ripped
Off his t-shirt so Fred
Walked through the throng
Of this party at opening of restaurant
And didnt ask to borrow
Someone's jumper or jacket
And walked home. No taxi.
