Drinking Song Lyrics by Alan Hull

Pipedream

0

A rich man drinks only whisky
Poor man drinks only wine
Middle-class man drinks when he can
But a wise man drinks all of the time
The lady drinks only sherry
At her bridge parties every night
The players are drunk but remain polite
They don't care who's won cos they're all too tight
And there's really no other way
The magistrate's drinking his lunch
When the thief has been found guilty and fined
And the congregation is leaving church
When the vicar is stoned on his sacramental wine
And there's really no other way
So if you ever stop to think why this world's so insecure
It's all because of politicians
They don't go with women or bet at the races
Or smoke marijuana in public places
But most of all, it's because they don't take a drink
Because there's really no other way
There's really no other way
