We're gonna drink enough tonight to drown the average army 

By New Year's Day the next door neighbour will be goin' barmy   (yep, 

that's how it's spelled) 

The milkman arrives at midday with his usual wisecrack 

Who knows a girl with Wednesday legs so when's they gonna snap? 

Chorus: 

Why does everybody have to be so hale and hearty 

Can't they see we're tryin' to have a party party party party 



The last thing I remember I was talkin' to some fellas 

Then she said she'd have a word for me with her good-looking mate 

And handed me a pint-pot filled with Advocaat and Tizer 

And I woke up in the flowerbed fearing fertilizer 



(I would have thought "feeling fertilizer" would make more sense, but 

maybe that's just me and my strange sense of humour!) 



(Note: Advocaat is a Dutch drink, sometimes described as the "Dutch 

Eggnog", Tizer is a Scottish drink (I think), it even has its own 

website:  www.tizer.co.uk) 



Chorus 



Bridge: 

So shift yourself and shake your bod 

You got bullet proof insurance from  fire, flood and Act of God 

You got to learn from your mistakes 

When you got a face like last week's Cornflakes 



The doors and the window frames are by Pablo Picasso 

The party decorations owned by Michelangelo 

The fine music that you hear is by Stravinsky 

with overall design by Leonardo daVinci 



Chorus 



Bridge: 

So shift yourself and shake your bod 

You got bullet proof insurance from  fire, flood and Act of God 

You got to learn from your mistakes 

When you got a face like last week's Cornflakes 



Two boys are upstairs in your bed 

Three girls are downstairs cryin' 

The Alka Seltzer in the glass is roarin'  like a lion 

You think you've aged 10 years tonight and still never been kissed 

So you overdose on aftershave and try to slash your wrist 



Chorus and fade
