lyrics

Friday night at 5 to 5 the siren calls it’s time
They down their tools, these clocking cards
Have punched their drinking rhyme
For the weekend has called, and this time is none for rules
She wears her dress like Crockett war the west

So he drank 1 then 2 then 3 then 4, picks himself up off the floor
5 and 6 and 7 and 8, he drinks himself into the grave
Unlucky old fool, for that girl cannot be ruled
As she knocks him down and burns him to the ground

Landlord have mercy now, and fetch his favoured jar
Filled with ales and workman’s tales
From the ships to lands afar
Though discreet she may be, she’s still prevailed by currency
He can’t provide to dine or wine girls so inclined

Drank Campari in the sun, while Sheila drank red wine
Sheila drinks till 4 o' clock and Sheila-feela fine
For he’s seen his Queen, in a field of tangerine
She’ll never see him how he ever used to be

Accomplished midnight now, as she clears her brow
On a two-fold formed of ice.
She’ll accord the eye, but she’s far from shy
And he can’t afford the price.
She’ll crack your heart with ease
And when you smile it’s all she needs
As you believe that fortune favours the old fool
