[Intro] C G [Chorus]
             Am               C
When work is over he likes to hit the bars,

           Am                 C
And at the boozer we'll have another jar,

        Am                C
Because drinking can help ease the strain

       F          C
Of his boring occupation,

F          C
Dull conversation,

F             C
Living by the book

        D
And the rules and regulations.

  A double scotch and we forget where we're at.

C    F    Fm
ooh, yeah

Don't stop to think

F N.C.       G
Have another drink!
[Chorus]
             Am               C

Go down the boozer and have another jar,

        Am                C
