Roberts & Barrand: Boozing

Now what are the joys of a woman or man? Boozing, bloody well boozing! And what are they doing whenever they can? Boozing, bloody well boozing! You may think I’m wrong and you may think I’m right, I’m not going to argue, I know you can fight, But what do you think we are doing tonight? Boozing, bloody well boozing! Chorus Boozing, boozing, just you and I Boozing, boozing, when we are dry. Some do it openly, some on the sly. But we all are bloody well boozing. Now what are the joys of a poor married soul? Boozing, bloody well boozing! Whether they’re full of cash or if they’re on the dole? Boozing, bloody well boozing! They go out a’shoppin’, make merry with all, They’re drinking and singing and having a ball, But what brings them home, hanging on to the wall? Boozing, bloody well boozing!
