I've been out of weeks for ages

I've been on and off the train.

I've been losing sheep

And counting sleep

And i've drunk too much again

But i'll take another cup

Even though it dry me up

Ooh, though i know that i should pass

I will take another glass



The cellar is empty, the cupboard is bare,

I'm joining the church and taking to prayer

The landlord's complaining

'cos the rent is outstanding

And old mother hubbard's ran off with the chair

Though i know it's time to stop

I will take another drop

Though i know i'm very sick

I will take just one more sip



Come on captain, punch my ticket

Call my mother's name

I once heard

That a fly can't bird

But i drunk too much again

Though i've really drunk a lot

I will take another shot

Though i know it's a time to pass

I will take just one more glass
