Drinking Time

Drinking Time

Music and Lyrics by Mat Greaves

(Chorus)
It’s drinking time, drinking time. Drinking time for goodness sake
It’s drinking time, drinking time. Why you ask, ’cause we’re awake
It’s drinking time, drinking time. Drinking time for goodness sake
It’s drinking time, drinking time. Why you ask, ’cause we’re awake

Oh, Look at all the amazing liquor mankind has created
Do I really need a reason to get inebriated? (NO!)
Middle of darkest night, and I’m feeling fine
On second thought I could feel better, Uncle pass the wine
Early in the morning mimosas are sublime.
Every hour after that we say it’s drinking time

Chorus

There I was at an Irish wake in middle of the day
All the way to midnight, they whiskey’d me away
Now I’m drinking absinthe. I drink it viciously
Of all the sallys in this town, I love the green fairy
Whether you drink out of tankard, goblet, flute, or stein-
so long as you are conscious,
you should know it’s drinking time

Chorus

Gypsies drinking brandy from morning, noon till night.
Tarot cards said 10 of Cups, in this we take delight.
Pirates make good drinking friends, thems always having fun.
Bottle after bottle, drinking all the Captain’s rum
Whether you like vodka, gin, or sparkling white wine
Have 10 drinks with me my friend it’s drinking time

Chorus

Now I’m up in Scotland, drinking scotch all day
It makes me feel off kilter, that’s the Highland way.
Partying with Norse Vikings, men of valiant deeds,
In a battle or a feast, thems say “Pass the mead!”
One tequila, two tequlia, three tequilia, lime,
Four, five, six, seven… one hundred! It’s drinking time!

Chorus
