Off To Boozer | ||||||||||
(originally
"Off
To Dublin In the Green") Chorus: And we're all off to boozer with a grin, naughty grin Where the wisdom glistens in a pun Where the lighters flash and the cruiscins crash To the roar of a saucy song Oh I am a merry toiler and I browse the web all day Till a sudden thought came to my head that I should roam away For I'm tired and hate this slavery since the day that I was born And I'm off to join the topers' ranks, and I'm off till future morn I'll leave aside my ear phones, I'll leave aside my mouse I'll leave aside my keyboard too, I no longer need them now And I'll leave aside Medusa, she's the site that I adore And I wonder if they'll think of me when they hear the singers roar And when the booze is over and of money hands are free I'll move my arse to table next and someone's guest I'll be Well, some men drink for silver and some men drink for gold But the real scums they drink on tick or squander what they stole |

Pessimist's
postscript: And when the night is over and the closing time is here They’ll kick you out from boozer snug and no more fun there’ll be Well, some men booze for lifetime but your joy soon has fled Back to toiling cruel in the early morn with sore and aching head |
