Lyrics

Early Monday morning, ’til Friday at fiveMan I work, work, work but I don’t climb, climb, climbBoss man can shove that overtime up his canAll I wanna do is put a drink in my hand
To fill it up, or throw it downI got a 40 hour week worth of trouble to drownNo need to complicate it, I’m a simple manAll you got to do is put a drink in my hand
Yea the parking lot is muddy, can’t get to the doorI’ll take my jacked up drop er’ down in four by fourChill down a long neck, warm up the bandAll you gotta do is put a drink in my hand
To fill it up, or throw it downI’m about to tear a new one in this old townFive, four, three, two, one I’m a rocket manAll you got to do is put a drink in my hand
Make me wanna go ouhhh ouh ouhhh, when you dance like thatYou got that little tattoo playing peek-a-boo on your backYea if you want to impress me, baby here’s my planAll you got to do is put a drink in my hand
Yea fill it on up, or throw it downWhen you drive me home, take the long way aroundYou be my Lois Lane, I’ll be your SupermanAll you got to do is put a drink in my hand
My head Monday morning that alarm clock singsIt goes bang, bang, bang, while it ring, ring, ringsYea I’ll let it all roll, if you wanna rock againAll you got to do is put a drink in my hand
Yea fill it up, or throw it downI got a little hungover, still hanging aroundThat hair of a dog is howlin’ “hey there man”All you got to do is put a drink in my handThat hair of a dog is howlin’ “hey there man”All you got to do is put a drink in my handHaaaaouuhhhhh
