Lyrics

When work is over he likes to hit the bars
And at the boozer we'll have another jar
Because drinking can help ease the strain
Of his boring occupation
Dull conversation
Living by the book
And the rules and regulations

Drinking helps us to forget what we are
We leave the office and walk straight to the bar
Don't stop to think
Have another drink!

Drinking helps us to relax with the chaps
A double scotch and we forget where we're at
Don't stop to think
Have another drink!

When work is over he likes to hit the bars
Go down the boozer and have another jar
Because drinking can help ease the strain
Of his boring occupation
Dull conversation
Living by the book
And the rules and regulations

Boring occupations
Dull conversations
Living by the book
And the rules and regulstions

Drinking helps us to forget what we are
We leave the office and walk straight to the bar
Don't stop to think
Have another drink
