Put It There Pal Richard Thompson

[Verse 1]
Old friend, it's been so long, and it's been so real
And if I helped you once it was no big deal
Too bad I can't be there when they call your name
They're going to write you down in the hall of fame

[Pre-Chorus]
You really got what you wanted, I'm thrilled as pie
It really couldn't happen to a nicer guy

[Chorus]
Put it there pal, put it there
Now and then just throw me a crumb
Put it there pal, put it there
Thanks for the help when I needed it, chum

[Post-Chorus]
You saw me drowning, you said I was a fake and laughed
Then you jumped right in and used me for a raft
You shot me down with friendly fire
You were all dressed up to play gun for hire
The rope you threw me was made of barbed wire
But put it there pal
Put it there, pal
Put it there
