[Verse 1]
Now what do you think I've been doing all day?
Boozing, bloody well boozing!
How do you think I've been spending me pay?
Boozing, bloody well boozing!
Don't say I am wrong for you know I'm not right
Don't argue the point for you know I can't fight
Where would you like me to take you tonight?
Boozing, bloody well boozing!
[Chorus]
Boozing, boozing, when you are dry
Boozing, boozing, suits you and I
Some does it open and more on the sly
But all of us likes to go boozing!
[Verse 2]
Now what are the joys of the labouring man?
Boozing, bloody well boozing!
What is he doing whenever he can?
Boozing, bloody well boozing!
Comes home on a Saturday, gives his wife all
She goes off to the market, makes many a call
What brings her home clinging onto the wall?
Boozing, bloody well boozing!
[Chorus]
Boozing, boozing, when you are dry
Boozing, boozing, suits you and I
Some does it open and more on the sly
But all of us likes to go boozing!
[Verse 3]
What do the Salvation Army sure drown?
Boozing, bloody well boozing!
What are they preaching in every town?
Boozing, bloody well boozing!
What they preach they don't practise, of that there's no doubt
For at the street corners they stand and they shout
What are they doing when their lights are gone out?
Boozing, bloody well boozing!
[Chorus]
Boozing, boozing, when you are dry
Boozing, boozing, suits you and I
Some does it open and more on the sly
But all of us likes to go boozing!
[Verse 4]
Now what are the joys of jolly Jack Tar?
Boozing, bloody well boozing!
What are the joys of the bold sons o' war?
Boozing, bloody well boozing!
And what makes England the land of the free
And if another French war were to be
Where would you find all the bold RAC ?
Boozing, bloody well boozing!
[Chorus]
Boozing, boozing, when you are dry
Boozing, boozing, suits you and I
Some does it open and more on the sly
But all of us likes to go boozing!
