(Ian M. Bruce)
Never again, never again
Whisky and beer they make me feel queer
And I swear, I'll drink never again
Consciousness creeps to the clock's crescendo
That alarm, will it never end-oh
My stomach's not well, my head hurts like hell
And to boot - it's a bloody cold morning
Let me sleep tight, I'll be fine by tonight
My head should be better by then
Oh! let me just stay in my bed for today
And I swear - I'll drink never again
My blankets they nestle like snow on the meadow
I am in comfort but I wish I was dead-oh
My teeth are all furry, my tongue tastes of curry
A Tandoori just before bedtime
I reach out my arm to quash the alarm
But the clock it ends up on the floor
But before it can land I retract my hand
And I swear I will drink nevermore
But prudence prevails and I steal from the sheets
Clasping my head to suppress the heartbeats
I must wake myself, I must shake myself
'Cause within the hour I'll be working
Let this hangover rage, but I must have my wage
Because money it's ever so tight
I need money to spend, because me and my friend
We're going out drinking tonight
Final chorus
Drinking tonight, drinking tonight
Whisky and beer, they make me feel queer
So I'm going out drinking tonight
