Like a squid, up at dawn An' I drag me butt tae me job. Not a break, front to back Kicking balls to the wall Down a mile a hole Moving mountains of coal While here's to hell It's ringing my bell Sing a song, bang a gong And tonight would be good to be bad.
So I take a wee dram Just to take off the edge Whether diggin' a ditch Or swinging a sledge I drink to ignore high society's crap. Bot'tla' whiskey in me And I ain't even whacked Now I know how it feels for the rat On the wheel to run for the cheese.
So we drink and we drink and we drink some more And the only thing better than drinking for me Is when I'm drinking with you and we're drinking for free.
And we drink and we drink and we drink some more And the only thing better than drinking for me Is when I'm drinking with you and we're drinking for free.
I feel drunk and tight Just a wee bit tipsy tonight It's the best that I've had But I've puked on my kilt Will you call me a cab Will you call me a cab For now I must go To wake up at dawn For a heave and a hoe And tonight was good to be bad
