Drinking Song - Alan Hull

A rich man drinks only whiskey, a poor man drinks only wine

A middle class man drinks when he can

But a wise man drinks all of the time

And a rich lady drinks only sherry at her bridge parties every night

The players are drunk but remain polite

They don’t care who’s won 'cause they’re all too tight

And there’s really no other way

And the magistrate is drinking his lunch when the thief has been found guilty

and fined

And the congregation is leaving church

When the vicar is pissed on the sacramental wine

'Cause there’s really no other way

So if you ever stop to think why this world’s so insecure

It’s all because some politicians

Or smoke marijuana in public places

But most of all it’s because they take a drink

Because, there’s really no other way

There’s really no other way
