People Watching
It’s a Saturday night; all the lads are on the beer
Posing in their best clothes – look out ladies we are here
They swiftly down a pint then another three or four
Soon they are getting wobbly and falling to the floor
They stumble to the disco cos they are on the pull
Eying up the ladies, but their chat up lines are dull
The music is so loud you can’t hear a word they say
One thinks he’s hit the jackpot and he may get a lay
Now on ‘whiskey chasers’ getting egged on by their mates
Getting pretty paralytic – will anyone get dates
The girls aren’t impressed and tell them to go away
The lads will have to seek their date another day
They all stumble to the door and head for a greasy kebab
Desperately trying not to vomit when they are in the taxi cab
Home now at last to rest their throbbing aching head
Thank goodness its now Sunday they can spend all day in bed.
