Lyrics The Real McKenzies

The Real McKenzies

Drink Some More

[Intro]

Bb – Eb – Gm - Eb

[Verse 1]

Like a squid, up at dawn

An' I drag me butt tae me job

Not a break, front to back

Cm

Kicking balls to the wall

Down a mile a hole

Moving mountains of coal

Gm

While here's to hell

It's ringing my bell

Sing a song, bang a gong

And tonight would be good to be bad

[Intermezzo]

Bb – Eb – Gm - Eb

[Verse 2]

So I take a wee dram

Just to take off the edge

Eb

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

[Chorus]

So we drink and we drink and we drink some more

Gm Eb

Oh ohé oh

The only thing better than drinking for me

Eb

Is when I'm drinking with you and we're drinking for free.

So we drink and we drink and we drink some more

Gm Eb

Oh ohé oh

The only thing better than drinking for me

Eb

Is when I'm drinking with you and we're drinking for free

[Solo]

[Verse 3]

I feel drunk and tight

Just a wee bit tipsy tonight

It's the best that I've had

Cm

But I've puked on my kilt

Will you call me a cab

Will you call me a cab

For now I must go

Eb

To wake up at dawn

For a heave and a hoe

And tonight was good to be bad

[Chorus]

So we drink and we drink and we drink some more

Gm Eb

Oh ohé oh

The only thing better than drinking for me

Eb

Is when I'm drinking with you and we're drinking for free

So we drink and we drink and we drink some more

Gm Eb

Oh ohé oh

The only thing better than drinking for me

Eb

Is when I'm drinking with you and we're drinking for free

So we drink and we drink and we drink some more

Gm Eb

Oh ohé oh

The only thing better than drinking for me

Eb

Is when I'm drinking with you and we're drinking for free

[Ending]
