How Not To Make Gravy - Paul Kelly Tribute
A tribute to Paul Kelly's Christmas classic, for which we are very sorry.
Legendary Australian singer songwriter Paul Kelly touched thousands of hearts when he wrote this bittersweet ballad 18 years ago. I think it's safe to say, we've ruined it.

Lyrics:
Hello Dan, it's Joe here, I hope you're keeping well,
It's the 21st of December, now they're ringing the last bell,
If I get good behaviour, I'll be out of here by July,
Won't you kiss my kids on Christmas Day, please don't let them cry,
Who's gonna make the gravy? I bet it won't taste the same,
Just add flour, salt, a little red wine,
Don't forget a dollop of poison for that sweetness and extra tang,
Wait don't add the poison! That's what got me in here!
I keep forgetting, that poisoning's a crime!
Give my love to Angus, and to Frank and Dolly,
Tell them all I'm sorry that I poisoned them last Christmas
And look after Rita, I hear she's still quite poorly,
After all that poison I made her eat last year,
And tell my son Kevin, not to eat that chocolate,
I sent him in the mail, 'cause that's just full of poison,
So is Julie's dolly, chock full o' poison.
I just can't help it, I really like to poison,
I poisoned all the prisoners, why'd they make me head chef?
I'm well known to like poisoning, as they should know better than anyone,
I'm never getting out of here, and that's probably for the best,
I just love to poison, so if you'd poison that gravy I'd appreciate it
WAIT don't make my gravy! Unless you wanna be poisoned...
Would you like to be poisoned? I can probably arrange a poisoning,
I've got friends on the outside, who'll poison you if I ask them,
I'll be poisoning plenty, ah poison poison poison
I'll be making poison, yeah gallons of it,
Mix it up in a bathtub, that's a little bit rusty too
I just love to poison...
