In which our four protagonists, miserable at having lost their jobs, resolve to go on the night out to end all nights out.
lyrics
When times are tough and life is rough
it can really get you down,
And all you can do to make it through
is hang your head and frown.
But there is a way to cheer your day
And banish all the blues,
It’s seldom done, but lots of fun,
And it’s ninety per cent booze!
Let’s go on a four-day bender,
Let’s all get absolutely sloshed,
Let’s go do the things that make us feel like queens and kings
Then get to bed unshaven and unwashed,
It’s time to leave our cares behind us
And forget about our mediocrity,
Oh let’s go on a four-day bender,
The likes of which you thought you’d never see.
Yes! It’s years since I’ve done anything like that. Just think of all the things we could get up to!
Let’s go vomit in the street,
And shout abuse at all we meet,
Then pass out on a policeman’s feet,
Before we even get started!
Let’s go swimming in a lake,
And find some windows we can break,
The excitement is too much to take,
I just can’t wait to begin!
I’m going to punch some Geordies!
I’ll start a fight I cannot win.
Same thing!
I’m going to climb a tree, deface some private property,
Then end up eating curry from a bin!
I’m gonna expose myself publicly,
It’s a dream I’ve always wanted to fulfil.
It’ll be swell! It’ll be fine!
There’ll be vodka, beer and wine,
We’ll just drink and drink until we’ve had our fill.
And then some more!
Let’s go on a four-day bender.
Let’s all get absolutely sloshed,
Let’s go do the things that
make us feel like queens and kings
Then get to bed unshaven and unwashed,
It’s time to leave our cares behind us
And forget about our mediocrity,
Oh let’s go on a four-day bender,
The likes of which you thought you’d never see.
Hello liver, my old friend,
I’ve come to torture you again,
But through it all I hope and pray
You’ll live to fight another day.
Let’s kick over a public bin,
Then down a pint of Gordon’s gin,
Perhaps inform our next of kin,
Before we even get started!
Let’s go buy a lamb kebab
To throw up in a taxi cab,
Neglect to pay the barman’s tab,
I just can’t wait to begin!
Let’s sit in a corner crying
About the way our lives have gone right down the drain,
Then tell ourselves it’s not so bad, we’ve got no reason to be sad
As long as we have lovely friends like what’s-his-name,
Then we’ll go and find a nightclub,
So we can permanently lose our sense of hearing,
We’ll be corpses by the end and yet there’s not a moment we’ll regret,
If we can still fit one more round of beer in!
It’s time to leave our cares behind us,
And forget about our mediocrity,
Oh let’s go on a four-day bender,
Da likes of which you thought you’d never see!
