THE DRINKING SONG
   

Hey bartender
How you doin'?
What's the word on the street?
My house, it burned down
And my woman, she left me
So gimme a whiskey and make it neat

Well, you might think that I'm blue
Well, have I got news for you

Because I'm happy cos I'm drinking
And I'm drinking cos I'm glad
I'm ecstatic so I'm drinking
And I never want to be sad

Hey bartender
Pour me another
Leave the bottle if you can
I lost my job and
I lost my marbles
But that don't make me any less a man

And you might think that I'm lonely
But I've got all my friends with me

Because I'm happy cos I'm drinking
And I'm drinking cos I'm glad
I'm ecstatic so I'm drinking
And I never want to be sad

So who am I tryin' to kid
Cos my life's a pile of shit

Well, I'm unhappy so I'm drinking
And I'm drinking cos I'm sad
I'll take a pill with every drink and
I might just wake up dead
I might just wake up dead

ABOUT THE SONG...

A song about getting pissed up! Wow, it's a great rocker, bit of a no-brainer, but the little twist in the tail makes it all worth while. It's only managed to get a public outing a few time, but believe me, it ain't cos we don't like it. - Fil
