lyrics
work is the curse of the drinking class
work is the curse of the drinking class
work is the curse of the drinking class
and so say all of us
work is the curse of the drinking class
so drop your shovels and raise your glass
and tell your boss to kiss your ass
early in the morning
day is for sleeping and night for fun
so pour the bottle until the sun
rises upon your toils undone
‘til some other morning
all work and no play
makes for a dull day
all work and no play
bleeds all your days gray
work is the curse of the leisure class
so close your spreadsheets and raise your glass
and burn your ledgers to darkest ash
early in the morning
the years are spent in days and hours
the frost it turns to dust the flowers
so lay to waste the office towers
come this monday morning
work is the curse of the drinking class
work is the curse of the drinking class
and so say all of us
work is the curse of the drinking class
so drop your shovels and raise your glass
and tell your boss to kiss your ass
early in the morning
day is for sleeping and night for fun
so pour the bottle until the sun
rises upon your toils undone
‘til some other morning
all work and no play
makes for a dull day
all work and no play
bleeds all your days gray
work is the curse of the leisure class
so close your spreadsheets and raise your glass
and burn your ledgers to darkest ash
early in the morning
the years are spent in days and hours
the frost it turns to dust the flowers
so lay to waste the office towers
come this monday morning
