Opening Time

I gaze across this land so green 
With wonder and delight 
I pause a moment and I think 
When's opening time tonight 

I'll just pop in and have a pint 
And maybe if I see 
A friend or two at the bar 
Sure that would make it three 

Then I would have to buy one back 
So that would make it four 
It won’t be very long now 
'Till I'm lying on the floor 

And sure that’s not a bad thing 
It saves the legs you know 
From all that standing at the bar 
Until it's time to go 

And if I lie here long enough 
That too would be fine 
I'll be first in the queue tomorrow 
Ready for opening time
