My dear wife is gone and left me alone
With eighty-four children all running my home
But I still got my gin, so there's no reason to moan
Tonight will be happy, tonight will be stoned

Some big bull said: "I don't like your face"
So he kicked my teeth all over the place
But I can still drink, so there's no reason to moan
Tonight will be happy, tonight will be stoned

I ain't got no work, I can't pay my rent
It ain't very funny, got no money to spend
But I still got my friends, so there's no reason to moan
Tonight will be happy, tonight will be stoned

Tonight will be stoned, stoned as can be
We're having a party, we wanna be free
We don't care what tomorrow will bring
Tonight will be happy, tonight will be swing
